I'm fast losing both patience and hope. The last month, it feels like I've been correcting almost as many replies as I have been answering questions

Am I getting too picky?

I'm not even going to read those, the answer is an emphatic NO!

Weekly comic strip? I may be one of the comics, but there's no way I'm going to strip. Trust me, you're all better off that way. 😀

In USA they are like cockroaches - coming from under the wood work, thought the walls ... any place that is dark and damp.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Thanks for noticing. I was actually hoping to hit it in 2009, but I slowed down some toward the end of the year and start of the new year.

That's definitely true. My take on many posters at least since I got back from the Summit is that I'm getting fewer responses when I ask questions and more people who want the exact code they should use instead of direction.

On a side note I did have a nice interaction with a newer OP who PM'd me when I asked them to post the question to a forum so others could benefit.
