Another illustration of this:

Sometimes it takes no more than a few sentences, followed by an

works remarkably well; you can even use non-programmers as listeners.
One university computer center kept a teddy bear near the help desk.
Students with mysterious bugs were required to explain them to the bear
before they could speak to a human counselor."
Well noted. And many thanks. It's either this, or I walk away for a while. But I find that hard to do, believing that, just one more try and it will work; just a sec that turns into days.
