@Imalooney, it's frustrating not to be acknowledged though...

Most of us are, by now, aware that Mapper is simply venting and wants no "advice", but unless that's stated from the beginning, how are we to know this?...(it wasn't in the beginning, and isn't always) We aren't mind-readers....Lots of people have wasted lots of "breath" (for want of a better word) on sympathizing and offering suggestions. Personally, I like people to be happy and if I have an idea, then I'm more than happy to offer it. However, if it's not wanted, I would like to know that ahead of time.

I, for one, appreciate Mapper putting a disclaimer at the beginning of her posts. But I wish she would also not answer and (by answering) encourage even MORE thoughtful and possible points for her to ponder when she doesn't want to ponder anything (which is 100% absolutely fine and good).
I feel badly for all of the people thinking that they're offering advice and being ignored.

There are two sides of the screen with any post here, Imalooney, and I don't think that it's fair to slam those who have trouble with this kind of posting.

As always, best wishes and good luck, Mapper
