There are similar constructions that adds intensity. as temporal or manner expression as not. This adds intensity to temporal or manner expressions. But your sentence sounds a bit odd. Where from did you get this sentence? — Man_From_India9 hours ago
I have problem with the current answer because this seems strange.
> "I'd just as soon see her as not. (You'd think I would want to avoid her, but I would be just as happy to see her.)"
> "The availability of an antipsychotic that can be initiated prior to hospital discharge and provide therapeutic levels of medication for 2 months will be a welcome new treatment option for healthcare providers, caregivers, and patients," said Joseph McEvoy, MD, I.

What could this possibly mean? O_O
Some person named I. Clark Case was an oustanding researcher and they named the capacity (Distinguished Chairman) after him? Or is this Clark Case a rich businessman, a sponsor?
Is "Chair" the same as "Professor" in this context?

For many it will be surprising but it is true in India! Often, a person calls on his friend's cell phone and cuts before he picks up. Most of the times it is a 'mutually understood act!' The reasons for that range from saving money to simply notifying someone.
Example: Say, A tells B that once ...
With by the way you introduce something unrelated to the current discussion. There'd been no discussion taking place here when you asked this question, so by the way was unnecessary.
In addition, you might want to consider incidentally. I feel that, in spite of its being essentially equivalent to by the way, there should be at least tangential relevance to the ongoing conversation.
But it may just be that I've only encountered it in such contexts.
By the way, by the way can also be used to introduce something not entirely unrelated (as I just did), but I was talking about it in context of your sentence.
> Many sectors that use results of laboratory tests now require that laboratories are accredited to an appropriate standard. For example, forensic laboratories now have to be accredited to ISO 17025, and hospital laboratories should be accredited to ISO 5189.
