If you ask someone and they don't answer, well, that is not really my

drawn into your rhetorical abuse would be my speculation, but it is only
speculation, not open for debate.

It is OK because I asked the question, you answered it, and that was all
I was looking for. I can make use of that while I ponder some other
stuff it is related to. If I need more clarification, I will post back
here at that time.
