I wouldn't say the elements are muddled - it's a common problem people have these days most likely due to twitter, facebook updates and texting - people can only digest - or only take the time to digest - small bits of information and if it requires any thought or attention greater than 15 seconds or 100 letters - forget it.
1. Same thing happens to me every day
2. even when I number each question / statement
3. and put each question on a separate line
4. separated by a blank line.
usually only the first or last item is addressed. Forget it if you have presented a paragraph or 3 worth of information. very sad.
