Tal, you know I completely agree with you and support you in what you wrote. I'm frustrated with the bad advice but I simply can't be bothered with him anymore.
It's too bad that TTA is only regularly getting advice from you two. But if she feels like she needs more pov's then she needs to ask other people. If she's fine with just you two then that's her choice.
Personally I'm getting so frustrated with all the bad advice from newbies being thrown around that I'm seriously thinking about leaving Newcomers altogether. I have enough frustration with BF, I don't need more!
It's too bad that there aren't more veteran posters who are success stories around. The handful who are here give great advice and are much sought after. But I totally understand why people leave because it takes a LOT of patience to handhold the newbies. And patience has always been a problem for me.
But you're my girl, tal, and you know I'll stick with you as long as you want me around!
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
