LOL--you can tell me what you want! And I'll do as I tell others to do when I give advice: think about it, keep the parts that are helpful, and ignore the rest (unless it becomes helpful later).

But I do appreciate the politeness of sharing your perceptions and perspectives, with an appreciation that different people really are different. :-D

I dabble too--a lot of writing, but also painting, drawing, fabric arts, music, gardening. Some of what I want to do would be easier if I did programming, but I'd really rather be doing the creative stuff.
