that you see I do a lot of that . . . (in fact, I've been dedicating most of my time on DU3 to doing structure building - which includes that kind of conversation). And I still haven't decided how much I'll hang around past this initial phase. (After I got tired of (felt too beat up by) DU2 and took a break, I got pretty heavily involved in a local civic involvement group that takes a lot of my online time.)

But back to here - I'm not likely to stop trying to do the education that, I agree, is necessary - I just want a little back up so that a couple dozen more pests don't pop up while I'm having a nice conversation with the first. The volume of conversations in which education is necessary overwhelming, so right now I'm for over-bouncing, rather than underbouncing, until the point gets across that DU3 is different and our concerns are being taken seriously.

Once that point has clearly been made, I might be a little more tolerant.

I'm not sure that a preponderance of DU disagrees with you. yardwork Dec 2011 #23
