I don't find this unusual. She believes what they
say, you don't.

LOL, you're asking me? Part of the problem is she doesn't
always communicate very well while sometimes she's completely
clear in what she wants understood. Having lived in environments
of the sort she appears to have spent her life in I suppose
I generally understand the essentials she's trying to get across
based on my experiences with people much like her, sometimes
don't care about the specifics if I don't understand them, and
don't often get excited about her posts in general.

In any event, she's not so "unusual" to me as she appears to be
to you. I suppose that sort of thing can be frustrating.

Well, yes. You interjected on BAH's behalf and appeared to have cleared up
what she meant earlier on.
