That is a non-exhaustive list of the most obvious of the relevant meta stuff. It is somewhat frustrating that it took that much text to express thoughts that flew through my head in about five seconds. The vocabulary of English or myself is far more limited than the mental constructs.

It's like trying to describe in words how you play a song on the guitar. Awkward, effortful, and unless people already know what song it is you're trying to describe it'll probably just sound like nonsense.

Thanks for at least temporarily restoring my faith in humanity, User:wedrifid. There's of course a lot of stuff you didn't hit on, but that's not because you couldn't.

Thank you. I pride myself on being able to hit on all sorts of things.
