Lassie,
What a good way to put it! It has to come down brick by brick....

I think a lot of people here want a quick fix, or at least quicker than brick by brick. I know I sure did. If someone had told me in the beginning that it'd take 3 years to get to some real progress, I'd have fainted dead away.

But the brick by brick analogy is a good way of looking at it.
