Get across the point that, whatever annoyance has been felt by various of us here, any 'active work' to recover will also be noted and applauded. Much can be forgiven where there is a demonstrable sign of working on the problem.
(I may not speak for anyone else, natch - but even the suspicion of some, that we have witnessed a hard-wired manipulative personality all along (?) may yield in time.. to a demonstration of much less whine with the cheese. But I think that may be a premature idea to get across, at whatever 'stage' he is in, today.)
Anyway, analysis fails. Maybe KISS and its + generalities is best? *Thanks* for umm intermediating for 'us'..
