I went through the same issues. I am lazy when researching things on fido and

Well, see??? *Your* education has *begun*. 

I learned as a pre-teen to not sell a DS person short. Many do not have that
exposure to what they can offer. I recently heard an actress interviewed about

rile up her outrage about the act, her retort was "But someone was cold, and
needed the jacket."
