It is not a matter of "not smart enough" it is more like "not
thick-skinned enough"

Don't be scared off by Spartanicus' seemingly harsh criticisms. He (she?)
was not being harsh, merely straightforward. There is little room for
emotional context on Usenet.

No one here really cares if you top posted or posted the code wrong the
first time. We do care if you keep on doing it after being told not to.

And some (myself, for example) actually do care if you stop posting.
Please don't. Now, if you turn out to be a consistently sucky poster,
then my opinion may change (Luigi anyone?). For now, don't worry about
it. C'mon back, now, y'hear?

Or don't. Come to think of it, I actually don't care either way. :)
