Also, while I'm thinking about it, thanks muchly for your notes on Initiates. You make a very valid point about the "crisis of misunderstanding," and if I make a small adjustment to the action behind the scenes it's actually very easy to resolve. Hopefully I'll have something new for you soon.
Wow, SOMEone is crabby. You insult your readership. We may not respond so eloquently in text form as you might, but that doesn't mean we aren't listening.
Not crabby (or well, I wasn't at the time of writing that. I am now, but work is to blame for that), but frustrated and ineloquent? Absolutely.
Part of my frustration, which I expressed poorly -- circular logic -- is how lately I feel obligated to have a payoff for everything I do. It's... well, it's complicated, but that's the end result of it all. So while I *want* to express the confusion and frustration I'm feeling, I'm stopped by the feeling that it won't actually get me anything in return. Which is just damn stupid of me. But I'm in a stupid mindset a lot lately.
