Not exactly a convincing metaphor.

Though someone who knows what they're doing, whatever their motivations... that's good to have right now. Even if I don't like the idea of being isolated from my own doc in such a bad situation, the more bases covered the better.

It's fine for now... and I have the means to self-repair if it gets worse. But if it's not an emergency, I can wait to take it, so you can watch and see if it's familiar at all.
