eventually you should be able to sum it up in one incredibly

That will cover the bare bones and give us somewhere to
start. Now you can send me all this information. And you've
been a real trooper through all that overbearing sarcasm.
Just hit "Submit" once. And please note:
Submitting
this form means that an email will be sent to me with
this message. I generally respond to my messages as soon
as I see them and am humanly able to sit down and answer.
But there will be no nice little notice on your screen
that says your form has gone off on its mission. And if
I don't get back to you instantly, just remember there's
an actual person on the other end of this form, not another
computer. Time, space, Newtonian physics, all that stuff
applies here.
