Let me start by saying: Don't leave.
This forum is filled to with eccentrics, oddballs, weirdos, nerds, etc. Many are experts in one area and novices in another. Some are young kids and others are little old ladies. And we try to all get along and embrace our eccentricities.
No one is immune from some criticism and gentle prodding, and each of us has to find our place here, and find a way to get something beneficial from this place, and at the same time make this place more useful to others. We can ALL benefit from advice, guidance, constructive criticism.
In that spirit, please accept what turns out to be very generic advice given to many forum participants over the many years we've been around -- advice I would do well to remember myself sometimes -- which is that brevity and conciseness are often worth their weight in gold. It's not something that everyone has to be enslaved to all the time -- but it is something worth spending some effort on -- especially for those of us who can be verbose.
Anyway, the main point i'm trying to make is that, for better or worse, is that once you make yourself at home here we don't like to let you go
