So, your problem with the questions they do ask is that they don't ask the questions that YOU think they should ask. Keep in mind that the most ity-bitty question they could ask is should this be a 0 or a 1...but I'll bet it can be a very important question.

Sorry, I don't have the same expereinces as you do..maybe because I've only been doing this for 20 years and therefore haven't come across this conduct yet.
