I'm sorry, but if I asked where the nearest gas station was, I
wouldn't expect someone to answer, "You can't get there because your
out of gas."
I had a specific question and I got a non-specific non-answer.
If they didn't know, they should not have answered.

So it WAS obvious to anyone who was PAYING ATTENTION?
Life is not a dress rehersal. If you don't get it right, things like
the BP's oil spill, Chernobyl, and 3 mile island happen. Perhaps I'm
being extreme, but computer programs underly our entire civilization
today. Computers dump stock, and Billions are lost, needlessly
affecting everyones life. Trains crash, boats sink, and psychos like
me go off the deep end, because no-one is paying attention.
