A question does not stop being a question just because it is
arrogant or respectful, terse or verbose, or whatever else
it manages to communicate.  In this case, your choice of wording
(the nearest thing we have in print to "tone of voice") did not
inspire me to go digging around in source that you have just as
easy access to, in order to answer questions that I'm not
particularly interested in.
