For the record, let it be understood, unless you correct me, that you deny that sexual innuendo in CH's posts was clear and that the the desk officer questions you proposed contained sexual innuendo and insinuation also.

Certainly not the innuendos you found.

One reason, perhaps, that E found those innuendos is that her and my early relationship on SI was, let me say, uh, perhaps a wee bit more than mildly suggestive. Now there was little overtly sexual in the Arteeste's performance of simply painting a picture on a canvas she had provided, but there was a suggestiveness about it which was, perhaps, intended to be read and received as such.

To those who have read the relevant Beltane passages this will make sense. Those who have not are probably scratching their heads.

The point being that E became very enthusiastic about reading innuendos into my posts. And once one has developed a framework in which they view another's work, they tend to maintain that framework.

So it doesn't surprise me that she would draw innuendos that others without the same shared experience are unable to find.
