Milk Cow v. Surface Ship Resupply

@Vendor:

I recognize that you are trying to be helpful, but could you please point out in my previous thread and specifically this follow up post, where I didn't "made [sic] it clear it directly?" I decided to post a new thread trying to be as explicit as possible, since I didn't get what I wanted out of the last thread (and to some extent it got hijacked). I was trying to do that since, clearly, I had done some research since my last post, and I thought it merited a new post, that would be much more clear and concise in exactly what I am asking for.

It also states in the FAQ:

"Please do not engage in 'topic spamming', where you post several threads on the essentially the same topic in a short period of time. If you want to discuss women's synchronized swimming, fine; start a topic on it. But don't start another topic on women's synchronized swimming clothing, women's synchronized swimming schedules, etc. for several weeks." The last post I made in that thread was 22 Jan 2011. Is ~6 months not enough time?

I also know how to conduct research, as I spent a lot of time doing it to accomplish certain things.

That is why I am coming here, because I have spent a lot of time searching many things (including "The Google") to look for an answer to these specific questions, and I have not found them. In my research, I have come across many of the links you posted, and I have used them for reference. What I am looking for now is a specific answer to a specific question. Now, in my experience, when I am asked to give references to a question that is that detailed, I usually automatically supply the reference with it, down to the book page if necessary.

What you have chosen to do is dump a bunch of generally related links on me with a suggestion to use Google. One of the links is for the encounter between U-352 and the Icarus. Although the article is complete, he most likely used Hickam's Torpedo Junction as a reference, a book that I have in my library as reference. I cannot help but notice that this link has absolutely nothing to do with surface resupply, which specifically what I am asking about in this thread.

All-in-all I can't help but feel a little frustrated here. I find it a bit off-putting to ask a specific question, have it misinterpreted and not answered, then get told that I need to do things that I have done, and I still don't get the answer I am looking for, all from a senior member of this forum.

Please, help me understand, exactly what am I doing wrong here to deserve this treatment?
