I always wonder about threads like these, I mean, if you were a competitor and these were your first posts my first thought would be- spam.
Clearly, that is not the case.

It strikes me that participants of online forums forget or lose sight of the fact that they (we) do not exist in a vacuum- there are many registered users who lurk, there are many readers around the world who never register but do read, nonetheless.

While I have no idea the real numbers, my guess is that the number of active users of any forum is far less than the number of lurkers.

So, here's a guy who finally felt it was appropriate to contribute; the fact that a handful of people did not share, or do not like, his experience does not make him wrong, suspect, nor does it invalidate said experience.


OP- pics may serve both to further illustrate your particular issues & encourage a discussion of solutions.
