You could have found some crackpot thread somewhere on the internet that was full of folks that didn't actually know jack about jack. Instead - you found your way to forum that are filled with people (currently two women) that'll call you on your stuff and with the intention of truly helping you and the b*tch of it...is that *you* asked for it. ;)
Screwed.
Utterly screwed.
but the good news is - we do NOT do it because we want to razz you. If we did not see something special in you and just thought you did not have the capacity to GET IT - we'd move on. Take it as evidence from the universe that you are, sweet little Sumner, indeed, worthy and capable. You only needed a few women to shake their finger at you lovingly - not maliciously.
