Oh, how I wish I were young again(though ppl say I'm in my second childhood). I have a feeling you are burned out. You need to take a break from AH. When ya come back, play hard. But don't play hours on end!! Life is more then this game,mess with your puter. Change stuff in it. New mama board, cpu, stuff like that.
I think you may be somewhat like myself, when ya do something you want to do it better then anyone else. However time has taught me that there is always someone better!! Course that is good, because life would be boring if there wasn't a challenge!!
I don't think ppl here "hate" you. They may dislike your current atitude, but hate, no. An attitude can be changed. That's why you should take a break. At 17 many things are going on in your life and many changes are in your future in the next 3 or 4 years. AH may not even interest you in 6 months!!!
Best of luck in your future!!

P. S.
ya know ya don't always get shot down, ya shot me down the other day!!!

Have you thought about doing some writing on how best to run a 17? Since the arena has changed I have hardly done any Buff flyn. Your thoughts might be helpful to the community!! Think about it.
