'obtuse' is by no means a word i would use in describing your help.

nor 'vague', by any stretching of imagination.

'nebulous', but a stretch of it's meaning.

'guiding in a general direction' does come to mind now that you have
me thinking about. :)

again, i thank you for you offerings of help.

i would not and do not expect an exact answer because what i am questioning
is not something that would be normally needed.


[years ago, in 7th grade, my homeroom and english teacher told me i was
 impudent. when i told  her 'thank you' and class cracked up laughing,
 she sent me to principal's office. because principal new me, even she
 cracked up laughing when i told her what happened. while principal and
 i walked back to the teacher, we had a very good and enjoyable
 conversation. when we entered teachers room, principal told her she did
 not believe that i was impudent and immediately transfered me to another
 homeroom and a new english teacher. i got along great with both of them.]
