I have experienced, as a seller, questions from a potential buyer that included one or more detail that was clearly spelled out in my description. However, being nasty to a potential buyer is not the way to do business. Just as being nasty to me is not the way to get me to be a buyer. I have also asked a question on rare occasions that was answered in the seller's description. I try to answer redundant questions politely and will not buy from a sell who is rude or unresponsive. When I ask what the LOP or drop at the comb and the heel is, "I don't know" is not a satisfactory answer. If it appears to be necessary, I'll tell the seller how to measure these things. Some people really don't know what we're talking about with these terms. Best advice, I believe, is to not buy from the rude, unresponsive person. Better still would be to tell him/her why you're not buying the item. Honest ignorance is not the same as rudeness. Ignorance is excusable and normal.
