Colin and Chris,

We used to have a guy like that at one of the places I worked. If you
accidentally asked him a closed question, even though it was obvious
that what you wanted was a how-to, you'd simply get "Yes" or "No" then
he'd walk off with a smirk on his face.

We nick-named him "Data"!

I suppose the real lesson here is to learn to ask open questions rather
closed questions on this list.

Chris,

Try starting again, with a new thread, asking an open question rather
than a closed one. Putting "How " at the start of the subject line
instead of "Can ....." would stand a better chance of getting the
information you are looking for.

"Do you understand?" is a closed question.

"How do you ask for specific information?" is an open question.
