Yup, Don... You have hit the nail on the head...

Whomever these people are they have serious communication problems...
I mean, just getting them to ask a simple question or make a simple statement is like going on a Helter Kelter Scavenger Hunt...

Now if either of these people want to ask a question that isn't a loaded "are you still beating your wife" question then here's how it is done... Just ask the question, sans the insanity and verbiage... Here's an idea... Ask the question direct in 20 words or less without the scavenger hunt BS... No, I'm not going to go back and reread thru reems and reams and reams of free association meanderings...

Just ask the fucking question...

Is that too much to ask??? (6 words... See how easy it is???)
