I am not "all mad". The article manifestly did not say; if it had, or I already knew, I would not have needed to ask. If it were a "bad question", we would not still be talking about how it could have been answered informatively. It was, in fact, a very specific question, with zero space for misunderstanding. But the reply did not offer any information at all, so I asked for clarification. Downvoting people for asking for clarification (-4 already!) is just spiteful. It would have been less work for everybody to answer the question that was asked, the second time if not the first.
