Thanks! and, i wish! But dbt hadnt been invented yet, so no, i just went blindly along.

Like my post last night - i wrote it in the middle of the night for me. I expected all of pc to recognize that and to cut me slack. I used to write emails at work in the middle of the night - while i was still at work - and i expected my bosses to note the time and so not get excited when i came in late the next morning. I thought it would be gauche or declasse to point out the obvious. Eventually, we talked about it and bosses told me they assumed i was fixing the email time, that it wasnt representative of when i was actually at the office. So i was like doubly screwed.

Yeah, i cant tell how my posts come across to people. I just try to be as honest and direct as possible, but not "painfully honest". I do try to be supportive. Here i did say it had been a while since i had taken dbt - perhaps i should have made it more clear that i didnt remember all the lingo - i felt i had implied it.
