> Louou2,
You wrote,[...I ask..if you feel frustration in the circumstances...]
The generally accepted meaning of feeling {frustated} is a feeling of {discouragment} or {defeat}.
These feelings generally arise in someone when there are {unresolved}issues that one is attempting to resolve.
As to if these feelings could happen to me, I do not think that I am different from others and feel frustration here with the inresolved issues of that I am awaiting a response to notifications as per the TOS here. Could the circumstances here, in your opinion, invoke feelings of another nature?
