I grapple with everything - I can't just cut and paste code - I want to dig 
down and understand
what every line does - so I'm a very slow learner.

It's a great achievement - It takes a lot longer to understand what we have 
created than to do the creation.

You see this all the time - Politicians pass laws all the time, but it 
takes a long time to understand the consequences of
these laws - same for programming.

Well I'd appreciate your feedback -- I'm just dithering along saying "I 
think this <in TW speak>" means "XYZ in pseudocode"
but I'm not really sure if this is by accident or design. Does it do 
something by accident or because
it was designed to do exactly this
