A user on -user who takes on the task of answering a query or any mails
which follow up cannot dictate the course or form of the responses. It's
par for the course. Sometimes you win; sometimes you don't. But it's a
risk the user takes. He makes the choice to respond and, in doing so,
cannot direct the nature of the answer. The rough is taken with the
smooth. It's part of the fun.
The questioner who posts? Same rules apply. He does not have to respond
because his whims are not obeyed or quality control regulations are not
being followed. Take the rough with the smooth.
That keeps everyone happy and rubbing along.

You read
