I'm stumped. What *does* it say about me?

Well, you said it only took you a few seconds to do it; I assumed that 
meant it was no huge hardship to you. I didn't actually mean to appear 
ungreatful. (And I thought my reply to Scott made it clear that I've 
solved this particular problem now... although on reflection maybe that 
isn't so clear.)

It's times like this that I wonder why I hang around here, when so many 
people are so keen to repeatedly tell me what an evil person I am. Trust 
me, I have enough little voices in my head repeatedly reminding me that 
I don't desurve to live without you adding your voice to it.
