Did I elect someone to speak/post for me?

Nah!
"Some come only to share information & obtain feedback.
Some come with matches to start a fire.
Some come with gasoline to pour on the dying embers.
Some come with flameproof bunker gear!
While I personally come only to share information & obtain useful feedback, sadly, I also come with flameproof bunker gear!
Perhaps it's time to ask what you come to FT with?
Bring a solution rather than a problem!
----------
Personally, I do now as always:
Post what I think is proper/right for all!
Post what I think is helpful/useful for many!
Post what the host(s) agrees is both proper/right & helpful/useful on their/our site!
Despite occasional errors/mistakes, these guidelines work reasonably well for me, and I'd suggest we would all do well to use them and ask ourselves these very same questions prior to hitting the submit/enter button!"
