I wonder if there is another question you could ask here that would be more helpful? As it is, you are asking about another's actions and intentions . . .I find asking a more 'self-directed' question useful and empowering because it leads me to something I can use, or reflect or act on. Whereas, when I ask about someone else's actions, feelings or thoughts -- while I might get a response -- I am often left with an empty 'so what?' sort of feeling - as if my question was never really answered.

There has been a lot of stuff on question-finding posted on the forum in the last few days to a week. I have felt for a while that there ought to be a thread or sub-forum specificially for ... what question should I ask the Yijing" stuff, which can be half the battle.
A lot of the very best materials written on this subject seem to encourage us to ask increasingly open-ended and introspective questions; I too have a personal preference for these kinds of readings ... However, in my experience, there has been a major limitation to this kind of questioning ...
For me the most useful criteria for evaluating a question concerns whether or not it addresses what it is that the querent actually wants to know, or requires further unpacking. I feel that the querent is often the best judge of this and do not see anyone tying themselves into knots here.
If you have ethical concerns over the use of divination for eavesdropping on others ....
Are you a beginner David, as you've stated? For a lot of us on this forum we've been using the Yi for a number of years now and we've learnt what questioning works for us and from what I can see you are putting comments on many people's post about the way they question the Yi. Perhaps you could start a thread yourself in Open Space and if anyone is looking for the way to question they could read it.
I thought my posts were in keeping with the forum's description - '... asking for help with interpretation' and were offered in that light. I meant no ill will, nor did i know that comments about the formation/nature of questions was off limits.
