	Find someone who hasn't been in this type of situation, I think the
cliche, not seeing the wood for the trees,springs to mind,and it's
happened to me on a few occasions. As far as I'm concerned it's nothing
to worry, or be ashamed about, it just lets others know you're human.
More to the point this mailing list comes to the rescue yet again when
you're sat too close to a problem to see the solution.

P.S you're only human poc, geeky maybe, but not insane
