Of course it's all right for you to ask that I (and BTW, as a surface reading 
of
my messages and my signature should clearly indicate, it's Jeffrey, not Jeff)
respond to your questions.

But, given our protocols on collegiality as well as what the canons of normal
scholarly discourse obliges you to do, it is **not** all right to make 
whether or
not you will respond to Larry's questions about your thesis and your handling 
of
the evidence contingent upon whether or not I respond.
