The issue is not one of obligation. I do not *expect* my questions to be
answered, nor do I take offence if my question remains unanswered. To
wit: I really do not care if I am Warnocked. That’s life.
If my posts *are* replied to, however, I would logically expect and
appreciate the replies to be on-topic and in direct relation to the
question(s) in the post that is being replied to. Attacks out of left
field (topic-wise) are not logical, and definitely *not* expected or
welcome.
It’s like me saying, “I just had my car re-painted. Has the paint job
been done well over the entire car, or do you see some places they missed?”
And your reply being, “Why did you get a Pontiac in the first place?
It’s useless to paint them because they never last. You should have
gotten a Ford.”
