Thank you! That was what I was looking for in a title, I just couldn't seem to find the right words. I'll be editing the title in a minute. I also got pretty intimidated - within 10 minutes I'd lost about a fifth of my total karma and no one would tell me why. That seems to me another weakness - we are too quick to vote and seemingly not good enough at debating some topics and explaining WHY something deserves to be voted up/down.

I was very unhappy to see this downvoted as much as it was, although I thought it may have been because of something in the sequences I hadn't gotten to yet. But I especially try to avoid downvoting new people who are obviously making an effort, as you were. So I'm glad this corrected itself.
