You know how it is when you explain how you understand something to someone else, and they seem to be listening intently, and when you're finally done they say:
"Yeah <and a bunch of other stuff>"
and the very first words of "<and a bunch of other stuff>" indicates they had/have no idea what you explained.
And if they're the pontificating type, they'll even elaborate as though explaining something to you about what you know that in their mind you don't know, and the truth is you neither know nor care to know because it still has nothing do with what you explained.
That's online life: beating one's head against the hopeless hope that parallel lines surely must meet any post from now....
