You're not! You are stunningly generous with your time, work,
brilliance and knowledge. And I find the experts here to also be
patient and generous with answers, when there is some demonstration
that we students-of-exim have made some personal effort to figure it
out for ourselves, and we don't approach with reproaches.
I'd ask more questions but the web site and book are too good.
