@ eddyatl4evr:

There is nothing wrong with being optimistic, but I take a strong aversion to your apparently biased portrayal of GP, who is one of the most experienced members of this forum and happens to be quite well versed on Tech. In the future, it would be more beneficial to those who come to these boards for advice if you pointed out specific points of disagreement and supplemented these points with sound reasoning to provide support to your views, rather than making mere assertions that it is someones “thing” to put people down, which happens to be patently false in this case. I might also add that GP has never told someone to “stop believing.” With that said, being optimistic and being disillusioned are different things. There are instances where it is in the best interest of the OP to be strongly encouraged to look at options that may be more suitable to their present situation. I would argue that to ignore such advice as merely being put down, rather than as a realistic assessment of ones case, is both naive and potentially harmful to their future success should they choose to continue along a path that is not likely to be successful to the exclusion of more attainable alternatives.
