Puddles; Don't be to hard, we throw out ideas, opinions and advice in the intention of helping. Sometimes we find solutions to problems that seem to work and will use that solution for years and never giving another thought. Then when we come here and give advice only to be corrected, the first temptation is to defend your ideas.
I know for myself well worded corrections are alot easier to take, and the longer you hang around here the more you get corrected.
