Oh, I don't feel bad for doing it, Rod.
I tried to use your own words as much as I could, and from recent posts so that my memory isn't too involved. And I'm checking back with you to make sure that what I heard was what you intended to say. I think those are good things, not bad.
Because somewhere along the line in reading a message, I do infer things from the message, and while I think I have the actual words correct, the inferences might not be right. Perhaps on the receiving end, or perhaps on the sending end. That's why I think it's valuable to check back.
And as I've been thinking about it more, I can see that bootstrap probably isn't as efficient a shorthand as, say, "choice" would be. I get the feeling that a lot of what you say is about choices.
