Patrick, if your point is merely that any questions asked on this board
need not be answered then I agree entirely.   I feel nothing if someone
decides not to answer. Its up to the reader to decide if the non-answer is
motivated by a desire to taunt or if there is some deeper reason behind
avoidance.  If on the other hand you are questioning the legitimacy of my
asking a question, which you are in your other notes, then I think your
position is wrong-headed, but I'll leave resolution of that to the vote.

Because, if you read the board, there is a claim to know of some.

Asking a question does not imply an answer, just as you are claiming
that NOT answering does not imply a question.
