Not frustration, observation. Holier than thous please apply elsewhere.
The point was amply explained, everyone suffers from the same effect from
time to time. So let folks get on with the task and await formal word or
periodic longer exchanges on the matter. The pin pricks cost time better
spent on creative work. Again, I am speaking from the sidelines on this
