E-mail chain from yesterday:
Boss1: Does [blah] interest you?
Me: Yes.
Boss 1: What?
Me: Yes, [blah] interests me.New E-mail chain for today:
Boss1: Here is a forward about [blah2] and a [directive]. Please do not respond with inane clarification requests.
Me: [Hasn't and won't respond as there's no need.]Times like this I have to remind myself of the advice I give others "remember to breathe."

LOL - yeah I have email chains like that at times.
I've been given a directive - If I have questions in an email they must be at the top of the email. apparently the information which is what makes answering the questions more possible is annoying.

Heh. The beauty of it is the inane question actually came from the person telling me not to ask inane questions.
I was asked to clarity "yes." In retrospect I was probably too curt; however, given the context of the original E-mail, I was literally asked if I was interested in [the thing], so "yes" seemed pretty clear. -

Sadly, they were unwilling or unable to read the rest of the attached emails to know what 'yes' was in response to. This is a problem we have around here.
for example - I really dislike small answers like - fine.
