When it's an answer on the 'other place's' forum by a Groundspeak Lackey (the correct technical term, as approved by GS) to a cacher's question.

Is it just me or have straight answers to straight questions become a bit few and far between from GS? What have they got to hide? What are they protecting us from? If knowledge is power, I'm feeling pretty powerless. I've had the same experience via email in the last few months too, with various US/global/super Mods and/or Reviewers making several lines of text say absolutely nothing. Worthy of a politician, in fact.

Has anyone else detected this trend, and could perhaps post their favourite example of a non-answer response?

I should point out that I think the UK Mods/Reviewers have generally been rather more open/clearer/helpful- even if I've not much liked the look of their responses, on occasion.
