Well, you're welcome. :) And good luck on avoiding the trope if you aren't deliberately invoking it! It's a pernicious little squib and hard to stomp out.

Constant vigilance and all that, it gets kind of wearing, but the big trick is to make sure that if someone says, "Um, you're doing this thing..." you have to not get defensive (and trust me, I've gotten defensive.)
