Surely I could have moved mountains for that time.

And it wasn't even only about the time -- the part you deliberately ignored. Or was it deliberate or did you really miss it?

If you can't help, you're aware that you don't have to pretend that you can, right?

My original comment was a rant but I'm still not about to lay down and take kicks for it. If you don't like it, down vote / flag it and move on. I can take that easily. Meaninglessly naive lecturing I will not take.
