Do you have the mindset that if someone asked where they could rent a pressure washer to wash their bedroom carpets, would it be better to just blindly answer, or maybe present a follow-up question?

No, I'm not of that mindset. I'm of the mindset that I compare apples to apples. If someone says that they need a storage area, it's none of my business why they need it. But then, I have a life and don't spend it sitting on a message board second guessing every sentence that's typed.
