I'm pretty tired tonight so gonna skip any replies, but this caught my 
attention.

Ummm.... sorry.  I certainly don't think that.  You've been very 
accepting for forthcoming about everything various people including 
myself have tossed forward.  I certainly don't perceive that.

Sorry, I get "code head".  When I'm deep in code head (and/or really 
tired) I get so focused on the exact technical meaning of what I'm 
saying that I forget the social manner in which my comments may be 
taken.  So when I say "no, you're wrong" in code head, what I'm really 
trying to say is "What I see differs from what I perceive you to be 
saying, and my thought is...."  da dum dum.

to make what I'm saying really clear, sometimes I make statements from 
memory about things I've coded.  If someone thinks that my thought 
doesn't reflect reality, I totally expect them to say "No, it actually 
works like this..." which is what I thought I was trying to say.

Anyway, enuf.  Or too much.  More code, less chat soon.
