Personal note; clarification about "hurt"....
I had a comment from teapot_farm containing some excellent and helpful analysis and criticism -- and a sentence saying "I hope ... that this hasn't made you feel more hurt." Which tells me -- thank you, teapot_farm -- that I've made a mistake and need to clarify it.

I don't feel hurt at all, and haven't been feeling hurt; I've just stumbled over the cottonpicking English language. I quoted a statement from dteleki and said "This hurts" and "Ouch." I didn't mean that other than in the way I would have said "Ouch" if somebody had stuck me with a pin. I read the statement, and it hurt, the way being stuck with a pin hurts. Just for an instant. It didn't cause me to start suffering from an Ongoing Emotional State Of Being Hurt, not even for an instant. I'm sorry to have given that impression, and I sincerely hope that I've cleared it up now.

Constructive criticism is a good thing.
