Consider this response:
[^]Response to a "snarky" post.
I get the impression from other responses after that that my response was seen as my being angry? upset? not really sure.
My question is what about the post gave that impression?

Getting a bit carried away here, aren't you?
Or are you really in the dark and want a analysis?

I guess you missed Marc's point, which was a serious answer but writtten in a way that should not be taken seriously. To a native English speaker it is fairly obvious, but it does not work well in translation. Don't spend time worrying about it.

Interesting, so I come across as English not being my native language? Definitely time to move along.

Yes, that threw me when I checked your profile.

You have to appreciate absurdity.
What's more absurd than replying to a request for tweets (which many of us here hate) with a couple of thousand words of straight-faced text?

You have to be one of the popular ones if you want a serious discussion to succeed. Otherwise you'll get mostly jokes back. At least that has been my observation. I've tried asking serious questions as well and has never quite worked out too well. 
Or, if you can find a forum in the left menu that fits the topic there you can get serious discussions.

An offshore company was saved from a deserted Cayman Island.
The company, Robinson Investments Inc. from Luxembourg, disappeared off the radar while it was moving from Switzerland to Bermuda.
The capital was discovered during a British rescue operation by the British tax authorities.
The company was able to survive by dodging income tax and coconuts for weeks.

Take to twitter and let's see what people come up with. Or answer here, but keep it short, really short.

why ?
(edit)
Why? Because I am not certain what your are asking for.
I'd rather be phishing!

Because Twitter supports 140 characters. I can't believe that crap is going to get started here too...

CP's got over 12,000,000 characters, but only 83% of them are nuts*.

Maybe you should try tweeting your request and see if that works out for you.*

As pointed out the goal was to get a short response. Yes I put it out on twitter, but wanted to get more responses. I am especially interested in responses from people who I don't know. People who work in different parts of the industry. My tweet is #SoftwareDevelopmentIs Problem identification, clarification, resolution and remediation.
If you think this idea has no merit, feel free to move along. I understand the issues with twitter, but it is an easy way to express the constraint. One of two sentences no more.
