I would simply tell you if was none of your business what my salary is. That is
between me and the government who kills me with taxes.

I wouldn't make up some excuse. Nor would I be polite regarding that evasive of
a question.

I asked if they would like to play in the CCT. Nothing more, nothing less. A
simple no would have sufficed. There is no reason to say your preparing for an
event that you aren't even attending..

Maybe they meant _next_ year's event. Dear god.. maybe I was wrong...

Or maybe you just shouldn't reply again.
