Thanks for waiting to say all that - I wish I had held my tongue at first, but this is a fantastic analysis of the current state of affairs... as expected from you, of course. :)
I have a social disorder (although it's not quite full blown Asperger's), and can come across differently than intended...if you're offended by something I've said, I probably didn't mean it with such animosity - please take it with a grain of salt. :)
