so this is what I've decided.

BC gets until this coming Saturday to answer my guided closed-ended questions on his own. I will then use the EH-sanctioned Nudge feature (nudging those that you've contacted reminding them of such and that they need to reply in some form or fashion). If he doesn't reply by the following weekend (Labor Day), I'm closing the communication and moving the junk on.

Three weeks is adequate time to decide if you'd like to tell me through an A, B, C, or D answer whether you'd rather eat at a fancy restaurant or a hole-in-the-wall. Seriously now.

This message has been approved by Terra Cotta Sugarbaker and I'm grateful for that.
