What if you wanted more education? And how did you afford to eat and stay out
of the rain while pursuing your free education.

"Not quite" implies that it's close. From what I understand, it isn't.

I guess it was my opinion only that it was a dodge, but it is simple fact that
you avoided giving a straight answer to Larry's straight question. I suppose
instead of a dodge, you could be so unfamiliar with English that you didn't
understand his note. But all the evidence that I have indicates otherwise, so
I doubt that's it.
