from an outside perspective, regardless of how many times and ways you say you are not ready to make that dollar amount request, you are being passive agressive about it.
This you're going to have to explain in a way that my pea-brain can comprehend. If I ask you something, and you don't know the answer, how is that passive-aggressive? How is "I don't know" passive? How is it aggressive? Not from WAW's POV -- from yours (since I will gleefully administer the mandatory injunction against mind-reading WAW).
