every check, complaint or mean response (I rarely see those) is a chance to learn. I know how icky and stupid that sounds but it really is true. It took me a while to ever post and I still do not post a lot but it is a great way to learn and check yourself. BTW I am older and it took me this long to work this out. I am sure this sounds stupid and that you have heard it before or I am being a jerk assuming things and all that can be correct but...flack can be good for you, really. We need all our voices to correct the wrongs and boost the right things we all believe.

This is hard for me because I just suffered a small stroke and could not even remember my name or words or how to spell (it took me about 6 tries to get the word *spell* right( head/desk).

We need everyone, let the flack slide. Most of us don't bite.
