Richard - much of the problem is that your frame of reference is, by your
own - boasted?? ;-) - admission somewhat idiosyncratic. You are somewhat
difficult to follow.
Moreover, in spite of your saying that you believe that your emails will help
other people, 1) they probably don't understand them and 2) even if they
understand them, the chance that they have exactly the same problem is
vanishingly small, given that you insist on circumscribing everything in ways
that most of us find eccentric at best and utterly bizarre at worst.
