    I gotta find a way to signal to people that I love hearing their infodumps

    I just gotta find a better phrase that won’t make me look like a coprophile

      I find that asking specific, pointed, open-ended questions over time usually gets people to open up. “You said, blah-blah, can you explain that more? I’m not familiar.” and just listen.
