I can understand that. My Spousal Overunit has also been known to
jump down the throats of jerks who treat ESJ as a huge undifferentiated
slum/barrio. I don't do that, but I also know better than to think that
way.

Oh, and gracious apology noted and accepted.

As for that: I do not intend to be coldwatering it. I have a personal
approach of looking for rocks and shoals long before the shore is even
visible, which leads people to think I'm a naysayer. I'm really not; I'm
really hoping to avoid the rocks and shoals and get to shore safely.
Which is a lousy metaphor because I'm not even comfortable on boats,
but there it is.

Just call me the white boy who cried "Wolfe."
