I asked you for more details, and will do my best to help out as soon as 
there's enough information to go on. I simply said that it would be easier for 
people to respond in a helpful way to you if the overtones - not statements, 
overtones - that I read in your message weren't there. Sentences like "Is there 
something going on with this project, or am I missing something" and "Are these 
supposed to be totally non-functional?" have those overtones. You may not have 
meant it that way, and I tried not to accuse you of meaning it that way. But 
nevertheless, the overtones are there, and make it harder to enjoy the spare 
time that I put into all of these projects.
