<!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/laugh.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laugh" /><!-- s:lol: --> It's hard to just go by numerals when all around me people use (and expect use of) these names. Despite that, actually I will still periodically go on spurts of using numerals instead... I can be a little compulsive about some things.
Like objective evidence, for example.
Speaking of which... I must apologize for my quirks, because eventually they do show through. One of them is that I am a little compulsive about objective evidence. Being a Quality Auditor hasn't helped me grow past it, either. I beg your patience with me. Some things which others take for granted as fact may seem to me as unwarranted leaps. To understand why someone else would believe something, I occasionally need to be walked-through step-by-step. I may need to ask questions about the nature of each step. Sometimes it has happened that a particular step is incompatible with my available modes of thought... in such cases I may be unable to follow. I may even point out the areas I find problematic and the particular type of difficulty. I apologize if this ever frustrates anyone; that's not my intent. I just have my own (pretty firm) concept of proper ratiocination/reasoning and deviations from that framework can feel mentally uncomfortable.
So, apologies all around in advance. I am not trying to be an ass - it's just effortless. <!-- s
