I do ...(want it both ways), :-) ...but then again, ...I suspect that I
was not specific enough in my original post !

It is occasionally fascinating to watch the responses, in MS NG's, to
a post that suggests or recommends something quite specific. Responses
rapidly appear that "read-into" the original post ALL SORTS
of things that simply were not contained or even suggested in that
post !
Then there are the responses that critisize the original postee for
not having included a MASSIVE BULK of related background information
- in the original post !



You apparently want it both ways. You criticize people for guessing what
the person asking really meant, but you also criticize those who aren't
willing to guess and ask for more information.
