^and no.. I wasn't showing off. I have trouble writing my
   thoughts down just for myself; I do it a lot but I find that I
   only *truly* understand something once I've tried to explain it.
   If i can't get the words out of my head in a more "general" way
   that perhaps *could* (in theory) be followed by someone other
   than me... then to me, that means I really don't understand it
   yet. I'm ok with a "tl;dr' (too long; didn't read) on the post I
   just made. It was really for selfish reasons but with the
   ever-so-slight hope that someone will look at it and either go
   "I see what you're saying, but..." or "Like" or "this doesn't
   make any sense" or "dude this is wrong" or, of course "woah"-
   which is always fun to get. Even if I get none of that... at
   least it's out of my head and "out there" - making it
   "published" as it were :P^
