Two things I have learned in the little bit of time I've been here is that I can't expect other people to read my mind, and I can't control what other people post to the threads I start.

The only thing I can realistically expect to do is to accept with good grace the efforts of others who try to help me when I have asked for help, whatever form it takes, and to give people the benefit of the doubt about their intentions if at all possible.

I think we've all had experiences with others here that haven't felt the way we would like them to. The only way to avoid that sort of thing would be to not post anything at all. Otherwise, you starts your threads and you takes your chances.
