I hear you, crujones.
I am the same way and feel the same way. I have written that post many times but never posted for the same reasons and you have a great summation of my verbose posts.

I thank you all for changing my mindset and showing me the difference between speculation and hope and true dd. You have not only helped me here, but also flipped my thought processes and strategies end over end.
I have written this little thank you about 7-8 times now, but never submitted it. I'm not really a warm fuzzies kind of person, and have learned some terrible lessons through posting in the past, but in this case I feel a thank you is well deserved.
