FWIW, the upshot of the whole exchange last night and my cluelessness
proved to me convincingly that Anthony is wildly totally radically
right here. If I had already had in my head the way of thinking about
it that he expresses (and had not made a stupid mistake in the first
place, and been more patient myself) much needless grief would have
been avoided. So I'm grateful for his advice, and I think what he
says here is really really helpful to me.
It's just so clearly *right*, that I can't even figure out how
twenty-four hours ago I could have thought differently.
