You know, this whole system is a shit way to carry on a conversation.

In brief: I accept that to a large extent, my views don't matter, and that being pissed off isn't going to help Amanda. Which is why I'm doing it here, where she can't see it. I'm completely willing to support whatever decisions she comes to, and she knows it.

My comment about forcing things wasn't so a reflection on what I think anyone might be doing, just, you know, a statement of pride about Amanda.
