    Is it some Youth Thing to not explain anything in emails, or am I just getting old, or am I just having a perfectly-explainable statistically-possible increase in enquiries from people who seem to assume I'm psychic?

    I've had quite a few enquiries recently where the people simply don't pad out an explanation with anything useful, and thereafter it's like trying to draw blood from a stone to work out WTF it is they want.

    I've been doing this shit for a while now, so I'm quite good at second-guessing poorly-described intent, but it's impossible when they don't give any hints at all.

    It's taking a lot of effort for me to not respond with an email slap.
