HCBF , You posted your story of the wounded buck and below it , your parting sentence was "What the hell is going on?" You had six replies , five of them were good honest advice!
NOW , go back and read your reply to the post! It is assumed by your reply that your speaking to all six replies to your thread. You had some good advice , the least you could do is thank those that are trying to help you. I'm starting to see a pattern of defensive behavior towards even constructive criticism from you. If you cant take even the polite constructive criticism from folks who are trying to help , then dont ask for it.
Hope you find your buck.
