So I am trying to help myself, but the more resources I tap, and information I gather (especially from those who've gone through it already), the better...I'd appreciate the help, but if you're not going to give it to me, I'll continue as I am and keep looking for ways to get as much info. as possible.

You are not going to get the answers that you want here. You'll only open yourself up to additional scrutiny by being smug and making the remark of "...but if you're not going to give it to me,...". That kind of childishness has it's place, and it's not here.
You were treated nicely and given the appropriate method to answer your questions by The Reaper. There may be a recruiter on this forum, maybe not. No person here will take you seriously if you act like it's not a serious thing to you.
Are you afraid of the recruiter or of yourself being able to tell them the truth...if you're looking to see what your options are going and talking with a recruiter is the best way. E-mail lacks emotions and you cannot convey your intent as easily as you could doing it face to face.
My recommendation is to give the face to face recruiter thing a shot. Just because you show up at the office does not mean that you have to leave under contract.
