This is a statement not a question isn't it?

Without a comma after the word "question", doesn't the above become a statement rather than a question?

why is everyone ignoring my questions?

Are they thinking that maybe you fouled out by asking a "non-question"?

What would you do if you were W? Try to hook up with H & Y, maybe?

H has long legs & a narrow middle and you mean to say you've never eaten at the Y?

Who in his right mind started this thread?  And why isn't anyone answering the question the OP asked?
