Mandie,
Please please just take a break and think it over. You leaving will be ours and HTC's loss for sure !! Of that I am 200% positive.
As mentioned, you need somewhat of a think skin in here and be able to shrug things off or as a last resort squelch the 500% total lamers who do or did make you feel this way.
A great attitude like yours is hard to come by and brightened every second of our flying time that you were online.
I know you recently joined our squad, The SPECIALISTS, and I hope your time with us was good. I think it was from my correspndence with you via e-mail.
Forget those fools!!!
From the responses, I'm sure you can tell for every 'character' who didn't give you respect, there were at least a dozen or more who did. Maybe some of them silently, but they were willing to stand with you when the times got tough.
As for the learning curve, we didn't have to much time to get into that but you have to remember that AH isn't as easy as checkers and probably tougher than chess. You have to take little steps and gradually things will get better, that I can guarentee.
Stay happy and posistive and don't let the 'badies' get you down.
They show how foolish they are and you can show how strong you are.
Your CO and friend,
fuzeman
[ I'll even promise not to put you on KP duty for a whole year!!
And I mean next year, not just this one
