Agreed, if you don't take the posts in CONTEXT it is sometimes hard to follow. Also, bear in mind, Anons make all kinds of guesses, sometimes they are correct, sometimes not.
When Q responds he is sometimes confirming, and sometimes correcting or clarifying.
ES was told he needed to respond via twitter in 24 hrs. It appeared to me, that he had 3 options; a/b or c... or whatever that REALLY means.
He apparently did respond via twitter and was commended for it. But, there was a D there, so perhaps when ES was given a choice between a/b or c, he responded for a request of D?
Some people grab conjecture from here and post it elsewhere. If what gets spread around is not accurate, it tends to reflect poorly on the overall effort.
