I just re-read the thread myself as I had a conversation with the author and there are some excerpts in the thread about that conversation that I had forgotten.
Basically he thought he was a pursurer and his advice is to STOP pursuing.
Also that is easier said than done.
I am done with pursuing. But what is the best way to communicate technical details without her thinking this is pursuing? I neither want to pursue, nor even give her ANY potential impression that my responses are pursuing.
