Maybe Chris will jump in and explain it all, assuming he has figured it out since a while ago, posting then he did not know what you were doing, and asking you to provide a more substantial explanation. Him being a bright guy, likely he by now knows what you are talking about.

That's what I like about you, eschewing sentimentalism. Loneliness is a blend of reality and pretense. Kind of like coffee.
