   Dude, I don't "gotta" do squat.  If you mean it isn't very clear, yeah,   
   you're right, it isn't.  I'm thinking about considering the idea of getting   
   around to better explanations.  Been tied up with new tools for weeks now,   
   starting to get things settled down a little, we'll find out what happens.

   You mean some overview of how things work?  I think it needs pictures.   
   Still learning how to work the picture-maker gizmo.  Be patient, or dig in   
   the library, or maybe go fish, might be good fishing in Michigan this time   
   of year.

   I might try to answer that if I had a clue what your words meant.   Can you   
   spell it out like you would for a 3rd-grader, get the question down closer   
   to home?
