An hour later I realized that my gratitude was not communicated in the simple 'thanks' of my last post and so...
I can't tell you how excited and surprised I am. I had always thought that there must be some deep seeded psychological problem for me to have such a difficulty and while deep seeded psychological problems are not, in and of themselves, insurmountable - who needs another one of those, right?

Anyway, I never imagined the relieve and joy I would get from having a name to put to the situation...but I do and so once again, thank you both.
