I feel that I have to put everything in the proper context in order for anyone here to give me anything even remotely resembling help. That'd be a ridiculously long post that I just don't have the energy to even attempt, let alone actually write effectively. I'm having problems even with this tiny bit of a post - there's no way I could make it through the epic I envision my context establishing post would need to be. I'm not even sure I've written this simple post effectively. It doesn't really appear that I'm asking anything, does it? It's more of a statement followed first by a brief, but likely ineffective explanation and lastly by a brilliant (ha!) display of analytic prowess.

Well, at least it should prove interesting to see what sort of responses I get.

But on a more serious note, I believe I understand what you are saying and basically I feel the same. I tend to read over my posts quite a few times and change everything around before I hit Submit, and even then I don't feel like it's going to get the message across properly. The more I write, the more I have to edit and fix, so my posts tend to be way too short to explain thing properly.

That what you mean? Or have I misunderstood you? :wink:

You certainly have me down pat. :o I suppose I should welcome you and make you feel comfortable, but I find such greetings between strangers to lack sincerity. Instead I look forward to seeing more of your analytical prowess. 8)

I find posts that start with just a simply condensed question works well; people who read it will automatically ask for more info, so then you can give it. Flooding everyone with your life story from the word go can just provoke a tl:dr response.

Inappropriate?

I like inappropriate. :twisted:
