Sorry, but no, I really don't have time to spend hours writing endless
replies to you explaining in great detail about every minute issue.
I spent an hour and a half on that email, and quite frankly, you've

Life is already difficult enough during this time of Covid 19, I
really do not need extra pressure from people who need minute detail
in every email.
