partlycloudy,
You wrote in relation to my requests for clarification on the admin. board, [....I am curious as to what your purpose is...].
One reason for a request for clarification is to have a better understanding of what is written. This request also gives the poster that is being requested to clarify, an opportunity to express themselves more about the request in question, which could produce more light on a subject in discussion and give the one requesting the clarification an opportunity to respond accordingly. I feel honored when someone asks me to clarify something that I wrote, for it shows me that at least someone read the post and there is interest in it enough to request for me to clarify something in the post.
Lou
