"Guest" who delivered his/her potshot at 4:48pm was certainly a dose of cold water on the thread. Why waste our time and good will by posting at all if you "can't be bothered" to explain yourself, and have no nerve to name yourself? Chances are that if you posted, you've traced this thread to see the reaction. Get yourself a glass of wine, relax, and when you have a minute, sign up as a member and then spell out what your complaints are.

Just about everything in life can be generalized. So I see your criticism is generally meaningless. Hard work can compensate for a lack of natural aptitude. Something attempted half-heartedly, even for 30 years, can't equal the results when a passionate learner throws him/herself into learning something.
