1. I must be rather short-sighted, but I don't see the word "please" anywhere, nor even "thank you in advance." You don't want help, you just want someone to answer the whole list for you, while you sit back with your feet up. Beginning your "request" with "hey" is sheer bad manners. It's like shouting at someone instead of walking up to them and speaking quietly and in a mature manner. It's a pity that your earlier "request" didn't stay unposted, I think.
