someimes T's have given me answers like that. It can be really frustrating, especially when I don't know where to go with it and hope they can provide some direction. In the past when that happened, I would try to go back at another time and re-visit the topic, or tell the T (usually in writing) that I really needed and wanted to talk about X, but that I felt they were not interested. Sometimes the T told me they were waiting to see where I took it, other times they didn't realize it was something I wanted to persue further...
