Ya know, "Who cares?" does immediately free one up. To do something else; or even not. People with compulsive-obsessive orders could possibly be cured in a fell swoop by teaching them ~ I mean really getting them to hear ~ "Who cares?" Of course, my maladies are more complex. So don't try anything like taht. Wow. That was an accidental taht. I've also notcied a lot of becuases. Even with Penni!!! It's that Nietizen thing. Now, let's see. I like typesetter. Yes. I do. I thought about it. Amazing, uh? I think we've the right spiritos there. It increases, affirms, my faith in said-same creation ("As the net evolves {is created works too}"). It hints and assumes handicraft. (Personal.) It's progressive, like forward, like "setter." It points, like a red setter. (Gotta get a good dog in there.) It includes individual creation itself. Nice. I don't know what goes inside ( ) for ( ), so I used { }. I bet NO ONE here knows. BTW, Gray, I once read that David Letterman had Don King, "the fight promoter" on his.....show. Don sat down, and David said, "So Don. What's with the hair?" Don was taken aback. But heck, everybody's always wondered about that hair of his. Politely, in silence, but hey, Don's the one who put his hair out there. So, excuse me please, may I ask, and please be not set aback, what is Graystone's Who care's or How to be ............................about?

>>>>>I suggest "typesetter"<<<<< Am I fixing to squash a perfectly good joke here? Did you ever actually set type? Not fun. Borrr-ring! I trust you never hand-set type, I didn't much, myself, although I did engrave cuts. Chained to the whatchamacallit Merganthaler, hot metal type, I didn't, my mother did, hours and hours at a time, boorrrr-ring! I did set type on some kinda gadget that was like a typewriter, sorta, a mean little gadget that never lined up exactly and all corrections had to be pasted on line by line, remember that yucky hot wax? Borrr-ring! Then they came out with the photolitho stuff, all you had to do was remember a zillion codes, and keep the chemicals flushed out, otherwise your type would turn to beige when the light hit it. Not as hard if you didn't mind the chemicals, but still, repeat after me boorrrr-ring! Jeez, if it was fun, I'd still be doing it. I am a lawyer now, does that give you any idea of how much fun being a typesetter is?
