You wrote,[...I defer to (Mr. Hsiung).I've tried to answer similar queries before and been unable to provide a sufficient answer or satisfactory answer...]
I am unsure as to the grammatical structure of your statements and if you could clarify the following, then I could have a better understanding and respond accordingly.
In,[...unable to provide a {sufficient}answer or {satisfactory} answer...], a generally accepted meaning of {sufficient} is a {qualitative} meaning in that more could be needed to have a {satisfactory} answer. A generally accepted meaning of (satisfactory) could be that the answer is {adequate} to fullfill a requierment.
My overiding questions in (B)and(C} in my post that you replied to me about are:
E.Could you offer an explanation as to the significant time lag for to have a response to a notfication for members that do have their babblemail turned on and you did reply in a manner that as I read the grammatical structure of your reply to me that you can not offer an explanation at this time also, as even that time has run since you tried to answer a similar question , you still can not offer an explanation.
That is fine and that was the answer that I was requesting, simply if you could offer an explanation at this time since a lot of new things IMO has happened here lately, in particula, but not limited to the suicide of Slinky which has had a profound effect upon me.
F. Another question that I have in the post that you replied to me about is my question as to if you think that it is good for the communitry as a whole or not that there be a significant time lags before a response even to members like myself that have their babblemail on?
The answer that I was requesting that could be suffuciant and satisfactory for me was a {yes or no} which could be an opinion of yours that could be IMO different now than from before since many things have happened here that could have IMO changed, or at least could have IMO the potential for an opinion that you may have had from any time past to be different today from then.
G. Another question in my post was,
Could there be a reason that you know of that you could post here that could justify as being good for the community as a whole for the administration allowing a notification such as some of mine to go unresponded to in a period of time as seen on the board here?
A yes or a no, sufficiant and satisfactory to be an answer to that question for me.
In [...I defer to (Mr. Hsiung)...] I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by that and if you could clarify the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
H.The generally accepted meaning of {defer} is to {put off} or delay. Using that definition of {defer}, could you post here what any reason(s) that you have to put off answering the questions in question? If not, could you post here why not?, for I think that it could be good for the community as a whole for me and all the members to discuss this.
