""Serious'' Question - on ''Wash Sale Rules" any CPA's or accts?

I've gotten conflicting input on this - help; from anyone who knows the facts ?

RE: wash sale rules. - for example;

If I buy 1ooo shares of XYZ Inc. at $36 on April 1.
Then I sell all 1ooo shares at a loss @ $28 on say July 1st.

But, now I think XYZ Inc. has bottomed at say $18 and I buy 500 shares at $18 within 30 days of my former sale - which ''violates'' the wash sale rule. Have I ''lost'' my entire ''loss writeoff'' on all 1000 shares; or since I only bought back 500; can I still claim a capital gains loss on the ''remaining'' 500 shares that I didn't ''replace''?

...tax considerations on buying back in ? If we see some major selloffs to ''no-brainer'' levels within 30 days after selling a stock, this creates some tax consideration questions...? Comments ?
