Dan,

I'd say you've picked up quite a few things. As far as your first three, nothing unsolicited is that good an idea. When it comes to criticism, that is a pretty sticky issue because a lot of people just want "validation" and not really criticism. When you are being criticized by a lot of people either you don't know or people that seem to know less than you, it is a little tough to take.

A lot has to do with the way it is offered. Too many people try a confrontational style and no one likes to be challenged by people they don't really know. Much of sites like these are about getting to know people. So that when critiques or observations come in, it makes a little more sense.

As far as what I know, sometimes I don't know what I know, seems like not much. But I have been around a long time, and know a lot of people who do know a lot. I try to get as much as I can from them. Hope it helps.

Glad you are around. Ask if you need anything.

MAB
