i only post here when i think i might have something to add which somebody could use, or when i have some ideas that need challenging by other intelligent and experienced people, so whenever i post, it always implies a question too (what am i missing, etc), even if it's not explicitly stated. i know i might come across as a bit rough around the edges sometimes, and the fact english is not my native language might contribute to my inability to communicate the right nuances in writing, but please accept my apologies, in advance, if it ever feels offensive to you, and be assured it has nothing to do with you, it's just my limitations in communication and perhaps sometimes also understanding.
sorry again if i gave the wrong vibe to the discussion
