andru235 lest forces from far, far away come to my aid, this is probably the only possible win.

i have done what i can, but those nearby cannot see it. i can truly say i have tried. recently i was assailed for not trying, and i felt great anger - you only see what you want to see, i wanted to say, but i could only manage to leave the room. besides, i suppose i am no better. but i have tried.

when, in such things, does one cut one's losses?
