Naomi, you are just causing yourself unnecessary pain by worrying so much about what people think of you. I realize you take things to heart more than most of us, who can take the rough and tumble, but still -- you don't seem to be avoiding unpleasant thoughts. You seem almost to be embracing them. If someone doesn't want to converse with you, just let it go. Reply or don't reply to their technical posts as the spirit moves you. And know that there are many people who do like you and appreciate your contributions here.

Be happy. It's not a disease <g>.
