Well, I'm a little bit shy in new situations as it is, and this can be a tough place to be 'new'.
The majority of the people here are very kind and helpful, but there are still those few who seem quite arrogant about having been here first, and they can be a bit harsh and intimidating when a new person is just voicing an honest opinion, or trying to wade through the oceans of fresh information.
I admire your tenacity, more than you know. When I see a thread started by you, I know it's going to be an interesting one. Hang in there, for others like me that have 'little' voices, okay?
And, thank you for the friend request~ I was honored to accept!
