Well - the odd thing happening could be up to me channeling my inner Jerry Lewis about how to do things. It wouldn't be the first time. As for my comment about elevating my view about it all, perhaps I had some preconceptions based on prior bad experiences with forums. That statement was meant as my saying I'm an idiot for such preconceptions. Anyway, please ignore my ramblings.
Again, thanks for all of the assist and advice. I'll have to look deeper into how to move bitcoins before I attempt anything again.
