To the entity that is/was Matthew, ignore the bitter old farts, disdainers and haters. They will always be around somewhere, jealous little monkeys gathering up their own shit to throw at any "outsiders". You asked for opinions, so you got the crap and helpful stuff all tossed at you at the same time.
My advice is to use what's helpful and duck the rest. Either ignore it or decide to devote your time to picking up monkey shit and throwing it back. Let THEM handle it.
