In Standard English, a question in the form:

[verb] [pronoun] not

or the contraction:

[verb]'not [pronoun]

expects the answer "yes." For example, "Haven't I ..." or "Have I not..." expects the answer "Yes, you have."

Please remember this, or you may completely misinterpret what someone is writing.

Clearly,
Argrath
