  Yes.  You ask a question from the experts.  They give you an answer.
Then you argue with the answer.

 "Well, if what you say is true, they why do I see this OTHER message?"

  It's rude.
I am sorry, but I disagree with you. I accepted what the export said, thanked them, and I asked for clarification.  At no point did I insinuate that they were not telling me the truth; your misquote of my question is off base.

  Yes.  There is a consistent pattern of people asking questions and
arguing with the answers.  It's rude, and we don't put up with it.

  Fix the underlying issue and it will work.  Argue, and you'll never
get it fixed.

  Which one do you want?  It's up to you.
I would like your export opinion, I respect the time it takes to answer these emails. I appreciate that there are instances where you find yourself arguing with someone, and it doesn't seem like they respect the time you put in. This is not one of those times - although I do understand that everyone can read into email what they will, assuming that everyone is arguing with you has got to be taxing. I am sorry you have to go through that.

Respectfully,
Jon
