Ask them of him, and insist on detailed answers.

This might fly as an oral interview, but it would take several pages of writing to answer these questions, with a lot of scrolling up and down to do so.

You were a good sport in your reply to me, and I was tempted to relent and answer this; but it it really is too burdensome. Sorry.
