Maybe you might want to think twice about what you're trying to accomplish here. Is your ego strong enough to take positive input from others?<<< I already did. I said I wasn't going to ask anymore questions here. As for the ego, I subscribe to the habit of "checking the ego at the door". Having the guts to put your ignorance on display by asking a question about something you know very little about should be all that is required. Positive input is fine...nit-picking over the question itself isn't what I came here for. And for the record, to fix your assumptions, I don't believe that only smart people go to school and the dumb ones don't. I know a lot of educated folks who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. Likewise, I know high school dropouts who are brilliant. The sentences could have easily been quotes from a character who was giving an opinion. If I had been stating a personal opinion, I could have accepted your comments in the manner in which they were offered. Perhaps instead of being defensive yourself, you could try to see why your comment wasn't interpreted as "positive input". I felt like you weren't making helpful suggestions, but making a comment about a preceived opinion I had (because of the example I used). At any rate, I'm out of my element here anyway. No need to fret. I'll look for a board that welcomes novices. Peace. :)
