You probably have NO idea how many posts I start to write, only to think... "I shall probably make a complete, utter, total and complete twerp of myself " and take my own advice. I just don't post them. Maybe I'm being overly critical of myself, but I really think that if *I* doubt the validity of my post, it's not *worth* posting.

This is also one of the reasons I have stopped posting as much as I have in the past.

So, when I said that, although I was slightly joking, it's advice that I, myself, have followed. *shrug*

Ti'I have thought about deleting all this at least 3 times since I started typing, but decided it needed to be said.'cia
