We are all individuals here with different opinions, writing methods and
personalities. Some of us have been doing this for a while and are
experienced and some just starting trying to understand. Some are good
cops some are bad cops. I feel that you do not candy coat your answers
which is needed here. You do have a valuable role here and I also
appreciate it. If you post you have to be able to hear the answer.
