Jeff never asked anything, much less "how much do you pay in taxes on your tiedown spot?" Jeff stated, omitting several sics, "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." I quoted precisely. You have a contradiction in even the short paragraph above. 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? In any case, this has little to do with the subject of the thread, so perhaps we should drop it. ~Paul |

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. |
