I'll give it another whirl because I know I can eventually understand it, but damn the public is in desperate need of someone to very simply explain the causes of this crisis.


One more thing.

I feel like I should respond as well, because Prof. S's comment on Xantar could similarly be said about me. I gave up on two threads, the Georgia thread and the the New Orleans thread, because of how much of my time got sucked into those threads. Plus, any time I wasn't actually responding or reading responses, I was still thinking about the thread. I require concentration for my job, and I couldn't concentrate at all when I was in those discussions. While I appreciate Prof. S's time he takes to respond, I can't keep up with it.
