:-)
The two paragraphs are addressed to different audiences.
On the one hand, those who are offended by terse answers need to get
over it. ( Deliberately phrased in a curt and terse manner, as "Get over
it.")
On the other hand, those who are in the habit of giving terse answers
need to try to be a bit more considerate in their wording.
If that's too curt, then get over it, Ari ;-)
