I had to dig through my YM message archive for this. Because Dang was trying to weasel something - anything - out of me:
Maxim of quantity, isagot kung ano lang yung tinatanong sayo, nothing more, nothing less.
Maxim of relevance, dapat related sa topic yung sagot mo.
Maxim of quality, don't say something which you yourself believe to be false or something for which you lack evidence.
and oh, there's even a fourth one:
Maxim of manner, you should not speak with ambiguity.
I have Herbert Paul Grice to thank, whoever he is.
