Why don't you ask all the other people who have been criticizing me what they think of this advice?

I don't (at least, not yet) have much interest in what they think of this advice, although I am curious about what they did when you tried it. So if you have a link to what happened 'last time,' I'll check it out.

I made my previous comment because of the unfortunate tendency in this discussion for several people to give me contradictory "obvious" advice, and rather than justifying contradictory positions to each of them, I've been content to just point out the kafkaesque standards I'm being held to.

As for the 'last time', I've linked this several times, but here you go. Notice how unpunished the good deeds go.

OK.

As for the 'last time', I've linked this several times,

I wasn't around for the past iterations of this discussion, and I haven't read the entirety of its latest iteration under this top-level post, so I probably missed it. If you're fed up with people prompting you to link it, I'm sorry; I hadn't realized you'd been repeatedly prompted to link it.

but here you go. Notice how unpunished the good deeds go.

Reading.

Edit - I've now read the thread, and I have some thoughts, but they're not urgent and I get the feeling you're not much interested in advice/rationalizations of advice, so I'll bite my tongue.
