I appreciate all the candid advice. That is what I am looking for. Forgive me. The tone of other forums I am on is significantly different. No reason to expect the same degree of kindness I've experienced as a participator on those over the last five or six years. My bad. I get how you guys treat each other here now, and won't build any kindness or civility expectations. I actually have some lifelong friends from my other forum experiences. Interestingly, I invented a product which I got a patent for and am now manufacturing and selling both direct on the internet, and through dealers. As a business owner, I would not opt to sell to a crowd like I've just experienced here. I think one of the posters here mentioned that this forum was definitely not warm and fuzzy. I'm not sure that is something to be proud of. I had enough of that as a LEO on the job. I can tell you that I have only offered my product in forum settings where folks are kind and friendly to each other, and have had great success and interaction with those folks. It is very easy to be friendly only to those folks you have known a long time. Half the fun in life is making new connections with folks who share your interests. That includes newbees who don't know what they are doing, but are well intentioned. Again, it's easy to alienate and exclude. Not so easy to make new connections. Thanks again for the quick education, and more info to come.
