For example I’ll send an e-mail with 3 questions and will only get an answer to one of the questions. It’s worse when there are 2 yes/no questions with a question that is obviously not a yes/no question. Then I get a response of

Yes

back in the e-mail. So which question are they answering?

Mainly I’m asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple? Do people just not read? Are people that lazy? What is going on?

Edit at this point I’ve got the answers . Some are too lazy to actually read. Some admit they get focused on one item and forget to go back. I understand the second group. The first group yeah no excuse there.

Continuing edit: there are comments where people have tried the bullet points and they say it still doesn’t help. I might put the needed questions in red.

    Speak for yourself. We’ve had YEARS of delay because someone answered “no” to a 2 part question when they completely ignored the first part.

      Even you ignored the first part of what I said, but I don’t blame you. That’s how conversations go.

        You weren’t speaking to me, just making a general statement. Under those circumstances it’s perfectly reasonable to address only part of someone else’s statement.
