It seems unlikely that I'm going to stop posting; on a certain level, it really is a necessary pressure release that keeps my head from exploding. But I'm still trying to work out what my needs and expectations are, and if they're legitimate in this forum and/or likely to be met. Also in question is if there is anything I can do to try to bridge this gap, and if so, what.

But thanks for the comment. It's nice to know my words sometimes find welcoming reception.
