This comment has done more than anything else you've written to convince me that you aren't generally talking nonsense.

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say.

Overnight, I continued working on that thread of thoughts, and dug up several related issues. One of them was that I've also not been nearly as generous with giving positive attention and appreciation as I would've liked others to be. So I made a change to fix that this morning, and I actually felt genuine warmth and gratitude in response to your comment... something that I generally haven't felt, even towards very positive comments here in the past.

So really, thank you, as it was indeed both kind and generous of you to say it.
