One of the reasons this forum is followed by so many people is that in the early days, there were so many people willing to share information that helped us ALL get to the point we are today.
Any information I now possess from a geological perspective is because I am standing on the shoulders of giants. I did not get to where I am by myself, I owe a debt to those who taught me, and those people post on this forum.
Why should strangers share information? How does it benefit them? Someone has to make the leap, and show kindness to the less informed and the nervous types. If knowledge is power, then sharing that knowledge is MORE POWER.
And mistakes will be made along the way, momentary lapses of judgment, so we have to do what we can to remedy those mistakes.
So apologize away, if it keeps this forum great. One thing is pure fact: you will never, ever get a heartfelt apology from a basher.
I still believe the chart is telling us to hold tight, it may not be today, but we will have momentum in short order if I'm not completely out to lunch.
