One advantage of constant fatigue is that I have had to learn not to worry as much about stuff like that... there are few enough advantages, I might as well cite the few there are :-).

Oh hell yes. I've learned to just shrug them off and not say anything after their refutation of what I said. Let someone else shoulder the burden. I just don't care anymore.

It's tempting to refute the refuting of the refutation ... but I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it.
