I spent a good portion of the morning doing some basic research on ductility and elasticity and came to the conclusion that annealing does nothing to affect elasticity of the brass only the ductility because elasticity is at the atomic level where cold working only affects the brass at a crystiline level. While annealing can prevent neck splitting it will have no effect at all on neck tension.
Not a lot of fun learning my $300 Anealeeze is nothing more than a paperweight but life could be worse, I could have dropped a grand on a AMP
Now the good news for forum members is that temperature does affect the modulus of elasticity so there is a whole new batch of pins for the angels to tango on. That would mean the ammo, barrel and chamber temp will affect neck tension to a minor degree... I will just sit back and munch some popcorn while that sinks in
