Aw, poor thing.  Am I being insufficiently Cartesian for you?  Do I need to 
diagram my sentences first?  Or are you not going to give me a gold star 
unless I start out with {vIghro' "Siamese" vIghaj.  "Fang" vIpong.  qan 'ej 
qu'.  ghewmey tlha' 'ej Qong}?

Contextlessness is a kind of context, and crypticness is a kind of 
clarity.  If you dislike this sort of semiotics, too bad, go back to 
reading the Z39.50 specs.
