The suggestion was definitely not useless. Again, I'm not speaking out of rationalized information I've gathered from material sources. I'm speaking out of what my mind has processed through experiencing life. My current views might be somewhat depressing. Everybody has a different life no matter how much you want to macro them into generalized functions. What I mean by all of that? [I have a tendency of not necessarily saying precisely what I mean]. I mean that I can't be honest with 'all' parts of what I want because I don't know them. Is there potential for damage to my 'real' ambitions? Maybe they are no longer normal or good.

I completely understand what you mean about what to do once those first steps are established. I don't think that it would have necessarily been my course of action once getting that far. So thanks for the advice!

Again, thank you for posting so quickly. I had time to read it much earlier, but this is my first real chance [League prevailed] to reply. <-- embarrassing, but true.

Oh! And yes taskifying (if/once I get there) will be very difficult for me.
