Of course that question doesn't initiate a CFJ. But the question this case is concerned with was "Do I hereby initiate an inquiry CFJ on this sentence?" The CFJ 1894 translation of that would be "I hereby initiate an inquiry CFJ on this sentence." Do you deny that this latter statement would have the effect of initiating a CFJ? -root
