It *is* hard to know what to say. Especially in a forum like this.

There's no textbook (at least not that I know of), so I guess it's just the latter.
> The last post of mine was in response to what I thought *was* a rather flippant response.
I don't think I'd call it flippant. It may just have been a response to the actual question, rather than any underlying issues.
>I confess to having been angry at the time I wrote the post (anger unrelated to anyone's responses), and I apologize for my remarks/questions about the bullets. Sometimes the only way I can survive another day in this life is to do something weird like post a reply to a web site. What more can I say? I am at the bottom, trying to figure out how to climb back out.
It's not so weird to post to a web site. :-)
Hope you make it out,
Bob
