i do not think dave is frustrated in the least
just because he said he wished he had done something
or wishes we would do something
doesnt make him frustrated

of course
but do you actually expect people to slow down to anticipate what
their scribblings are going to look like after theyve been cited &
recited a dozen times
hahahahaha
hahahahahaha
but having it all in your face like that does help you search out the
original messages instantly with our handy search engine
if you should happen to be interested by what you can
understand of it

true
so maybe
as you also infer
they do know very well what they are doing
& if you are interested enough in what they seem to be saying
then evidently fully worth the difficulty of your fully translating it
which isnt really so hard at all
once you develop your search enjoyment quotient
which is what our group is all about
we are a global gymnasium for pumping search & enjoyment
& maybe even a galactic or cosmic one too

if you would keep feeding them to us as they occur to you
indeed you could be our first human guinea pig doctor

but that is against cosmic law
better to encourage the newcomer to take some time
to really read & if necessary translate the text
the deeply involved are already taking some time to even create
this opportunity for the newcomer to become more deeply
involved

right
good
perfect is finished
