This is no fun. I can tell you. And it is not neccessarily your own fault. Although Alans posts give rise to the suspicion that it is, it also may be the other way round. Once when you're stuck to it, you can be as smart as you want, you have harldy any chance to escape it or at least to stop it progressing. The only good thing is that you're so busy with yourself that you have no time to notice how deep you're into it already. Believe me, it's anything but fair. And it's not possible to explain it to anybody who hasn't experienced it himself. It's wrong to judge if you haven't experienced it. You won't judge if you have experienced it. I beware of criticising Alan and I know why I do so and why I will do so for the rest of my life. It's not a beam that is in Alan's eye.
