Steve, I was wrong to freak out so badly at your suggestion. I can give you an explanation for why but it was wrong for me to do so. I thought that the doc was better than it was and so I couldn't understand and flashed to anger rather than listening. So even so, my tone is well below the standard I try to set for myself: so it was doubly wrong. I've been doing it a lot this year, guess I'm not coping as well as I thought with the times. It's no excuse, though, and I'm sorry. I felt bad about over-reacting so I came back to things fresh today. On fresh reading, your suggestions are good ones. Very similar to the ones I came to after spending some quality time trying to edit the document you'd offered the suggestion to. The content and focus isn't quite right there. I spent a couple hours trying to fix it, only to find myself in a dead end I couldn't puzzle my way out of before quitting for the day... I'll give it another try over the weekend or next week. So please accept my apology for being a jerk, yelling at you in a truly unprofessional way and screaming when I should really have been listening. Again, anything I say by way of explanation doesn't justify it at all.
