**Wendell,
Do you see the “Why” at the beginning of the post subject and the question mark at the end? That’s called a question.
Thanks for your useless response, which, for the life of me I can’t imagine why you would take the time to make, especially given that 16 others before you got the question. Why I’m deigning myself to respond to you is equally bewildering.

Tough Day? **

Umm…Methinks you got whooshed. Isn’t Wendell demonstrating in English the same sort of thing you’re questioning in Chinese?
