Bijou you're one of my favorite posters at this place so please don't take this wrong, but I swear you must have an industrial strength brain scrubber in order to be able to wade through some of the stuff you find at DU and still be able to sleep at night without nightmares.
Personally, I've tried wading through some of the forums where you've found stuff and couldn't last long at the time before I'd have to come back out to get some air in the real world.
