Sorry that this is a short post but some people have other things to do with their time.

menloparkmom, I do think that your last line is suggestive and unnecessary. I am referring to your “Sorry that this is a short post but some people have other things to do with their time.” I do not think that these forums were set up to judge how people should spend their time.





The funny thing is, menloparkmom is a prolific poster, posting frequently and consistently throughout the day, while hyeonjlee seems to post a couple a day maybe less unless it’s her own thread. Obviously, one of them has really A LOT of time on her hand posting many comments without depth and thoroughness (regardless of length) while the other poster posts a few with depth and impact based on a very thorough research. I know which poster I would rather read.

I really did not appreciate casual and snide remarks without much depth, analysis, and thought against well researched posts that actually helped me a lot and other members here too. This is an example of gratuitously negative attitudes and behavior that drive away real contributors from the forum, the kind of posters who actually help others with their research and experience.

I am graduating from this thread also. I think I got what I needed out of this thread.

best of luck to everybody.
