thanks for your nice comment.
I think it's 'just popular' to say something is frustrating when it doesn't go as planned, though of course, people do suffer genuine frustration at times, of course.
Think some about the concept of 'mastery' .............you don't think of a Master in any discipline as ever being frustrated. 
Committed and determined, yes.  and patient too.  The word 'persevere comes to mind. That's the energy I admire and seek to emulate, and your darn right the vanagon engine gods get downright nasty at times !

    I consider frustration a form of anger.
    as much as possible, I don't do anger.

  Scott - that's a great point to make. I like that perspective and will recant my use of the word frustration.
