Is that the case today?

I've read carefully, and I believe that these four questions (three of which require only a simple "yes" or "no" to answer) have not been answered. Could someone please point me to the answer(s) if I missed it/them? SATTSO, could you please answer if you have not (or point me to the answer(s) I missed if you have)? Thanks for continuing to discuss this with us.

Also, SATTSO, I think I may understand where some of the confusion is coming from. When someone asks a question that requires a "yes" or "no" to answer, and you feel like the answer begins with "Maybe, but..." or "That depends," stating such is not the same as answering the question. You really could keep the discussion moving by instead saying, "Without more information, I cannot answer that," then explaining what additional information is needed. Please consider doing so in such cases.

And when someone repeats a yes/no question you think you've already answered, even if you're tired of answering it, please just type the two or three letter answer again. That's much more useful than notice that you have previously stated "yes" or "no". You can, of course, still tell us you already answered it, but please just repeat it for clarity.
