I don't care if it's an "or" or "xor" type of question, I usually answer with a "yes" or "no", which I, in turn, almost never use when it's a "yes or no" sort of question... with one exception: the other day, a younger colleague asked me "is there a function in Foxpro which...", and I said "yes, there is" before he had a chance to complete the question :)
