What words in "you didn't say how much yearly" don't you understand?
Doesn't that mean he wishes to know how much you pay yearly?

As a matter of fact, I don't think that's what it means at all.
The full sentence was, again:

"I was not able to see the math you did on the 400k , you pay taxes
on your tiedown spot, but you didnt say how much yearly."

This is a bit fractured, so before my brain can process it, I have to
translate it as follows:

"I was not able to see the math you did (to arrive at $400K because
although) you pay taxes on your tiedown spot, ... you didn't say how
much yearly."

This is to what I was responding. My response is that the amount I pay in
taxes is irrelevant to how I arrived at $400K.

I suppose that there is another possible interpretation to which you
subscribe:

"I was not able to see the math you did (to arrive at $400K)."
"Say, by the way, you pay taxes on your tiedown spot, but you
didn't say how much yearly. Would you mind sharing that info?"

It's unfortunate that we're left to guess and debate the actual meaning.
That's what punctuation is for.


In any case, this has little to do with the subject of the thread,
so perhaps we should drop it.

I suppose I'll have to swallow my pride and allow that my schooling in the
art of reading is inadequate to allow me to divine what the heck Jeff is
talking about. Perhaps this indicates a lack of creativity on my part.
