Confused About Counting Carbs

I am really confused about counting these creatures. I see "total" carbs..."net" carbs...fiber and some kind of formula for calculating these things.

The Atkins catalog says that sugar alcohol carbs have minimal impact on blood sugar levels...are they not to be counted ???? I thought a carb was a carb was a carb and so on ad infinitum ???

Can some of you enlighten me. Now, please bear in mind that I do not have a mathematical mind
