At the risk, or the certainty, of hijacking this thread again, I will offer a disagreement here. I found my attempts to answer questions that were not questions to be extremely confusing, since I never got the answers right, or never understood why my answers did no good -- until I figured out that they were, in fact, not questions at all, but expressions of agita on the part of those posing the "questions" -- and agita that the questioners themselves did not realize were agita on
their parts. Now that I realize it (I claim), I sidestep trying to "answer" them, and feel much better, more as though I understand what is going on. I have much more insight (again, I claim). Even when hijacking a thread, it makes me feel better to make this point.
