I've been inducted...

Does this mean I'm one of the gang now? lol. *sheepishly grins*

For whatever it's worth - the "primer" post yesterday wasn't a high-handed attempt at education for everybody, so much as just venting frustration. Had a PTA meeting earlier in the day re: the eldest daughter's downward trend in reading/math, and then I tried to slog through a few PM's of 3rd grade-level correspondence in an upcoming transaction... Didn't help my irritation that I was listening to a "special report" about guns on CPR at the time. Then as a nice little coup de grace to the whole thing, I unwittingly made a bit of a jackass out of myself by committing my own grammatical no-no in the post itself! lol.

Hey, at least I'm not stuck at "newbie/trading post troll" anymore.
