Thanks.
When I described what was going on to my girlfriend, she just laughed - said it was hilarious that there's this sub-culture of people being all protective of stuff that almost no one is interested in. It provided her with quite a bit of amusement.
Edited to add: you got me thinking about this, and I added a blog to my website - this way I can explain what I'm doing, what I need, and what I have to share.
