(Please be so kind to remind Andreas> me about this in case I might forget.) I'm laughing so hard. I absolutely am happy to sit down with Holger; I really enjoy hanging out with him. And I'd be delighted to hang out with you as well! But as it happens, I don't prefer the taste of beer or vodka although almost all other alcohols work well. But I'm laughing because in this instance it's easy for me to see that you're offering help in a way that I was not able to hear in Holger's first message. But there's not really any difference except in me and my state. Seeing the juxtaposition kind of deflates a lot of my frustration. I really do prefer to be approached with questions rather than assumptions, and yet there are and always will be assumptions somewhere. --Sam
