That part was easy for me to understand. After I read your reaction to my posts and saw that you were trying to comply with requirements I don't find consistent, I was concerned about the difficulty you would have trying to sort it all out.
Oddly, I was writing something in response to another of your posts on admin when I first said heck with it and deleted my draft to be replaced by my original "don't post to me" request, then yesterday was writing exactly the same thought (I'll help stop the bleeding just to keep my carpet clean) when your post showed up beneath it.
I appreciate your effort to sort it out -- if "sorry's" are the "way of your people" i accept that, though I would seldom require or expect it. From me, you would more likely hear "I turned down the wrong friggin street three times now, is the map wrong or am I". Either that or, "hey, this is kindof a nice street, anyway" (as thuggish looking youth close in around the car).

"hey mister, nice car", the rough-looking kids said with jubilant innocence as I asked for directions. "Get away from that man! Remember what happened to Johnny" their mother shouts from the door of a tenement building.
