For starters, you're doing something I've seen in a lot of academics: you're writing something so obstruse as to be meaningless at bottom. I realize that I'm oldfashioned and pedantic, but words are supposed to be a tool for communication. Even poetry is about communicating something to someone. When anyone writes something that I have to read multiple times to find the sense in, I figure there is a breakdown somewhere along the communication channel. Now, I'm insecure as all get out, and I generally figure I'm just not astute enough to understand the concepts involved. But once I've diagrammed every sentence, and modeled the reasoning -- well, if I still can't find good sense in it, I figure I'm not the end with a problem. I also noticed that you did not address what I wrote to you.
These boards are supposed to be about getting and giving support and information. From what you post here, it seems as if you are past the need for receiving support. Yet, your posts never tell us what you have gone through, what helped you get past it, and what steps you took to get there. You only tell us What To Do. (I think most of us have gotten a lot of that over the years. I know I have, and so I won't thank you for adding to it.)
Sorry, but if that's all you have to say, you're not trying to communicate with me -- think of it as "post" versus "get" in perl. One of those is two way communication.
