Thank you, I'm glad to know I'm at least making some progress (I sweated over my first attempt for ages and it ended up terrible, but then just a little time of feedback and back and forth discussion seems to really be tightening up my understanding of what I need to communicate and how! That's probably a highly generalizable principle :P - actually reminds me of some "just make an attempt already if failure is low cost!" post I saw some months back in main... can't find it right now, but maybe you remember the one I mean. Edit: it was "[Just Try It")

Anyway, is this also helpful? (Even 'unutterably' so? :P)
