Thank you for this long and insightful post. You put into words the frustration that I felt at Patrick's comment (which I apologized for elsewhere), and communicated it far better.

Heh, I'm glad someone read the thing. After reading your later replies to Patrick, I felt my comments were essentially redundant, so it's nice to hear you appreciate them. I doubt Patrick will scale my wall of text, and I don't blame him, but that's what you get when you rile up a hyperfocusing ADHDer.
