Actually I did ask (obviously not directly enough though):

Generally, when someone asks a question that question is followed by a "?."

Please repost your original question, so that I am able to recognize it as
such.

"
I guess I took it the wrong way too. It read to me like Op was saying
that since I lived in a hi-tech mecca that the unemployment picture was
different here than in the rest of the country.

The above is not a question, but is generally considered to be a statement
of one's opinion, I believe.


Secondly, Joe somehow comes to the conclusion that I stated that I
live in a "high-tech mecca," and that the whole discussion started with
this "bogus claim"--which it had not, as best I can recall?

Ah, there's the rub. No one said that *YOU* live in a "high-tech
mecca".

Joe posted:

***"I didn't realize that unemployment worked differently between the left
and right coasts. Remember this started with your bogus claim of living
in a "high-tech mecca"."***

How exactly would you read, " Remember this started with your bogus claim of
living
in a "high-tech mecca"," other than that he thought that I said that I lived
in a "high-tech mecca?"

Obviously, your reading skills are no better than Joey's!


Looks like we've identified the reading comprehension problem....
.....and it is you. ;-)

Are you really that stupid? (Note that the preceeding was in the form of a
question.)
