Your reasoning (the sig thing apart because I don't use one) is exactly the same as mine, so here is a warning. The more years of your life you spend trying to explain things, the longer your posts will become. Every time you sit down to write, you will remember all the other times you failed to get the message across and you think, if I just add a little more detail here, a touch more explanation there, maybe this time they will get it. Let me tell you, it doesn't work  |
Oh MY yes, this is why I will normally ask that if they are interested, they should contact me - but then, that looks like I'm hiding something
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I also know that the more you explain, the more chances you'll get others that understood it less or in a different way - hence why face to face is sometimes easier. *but then the downside to that is you can't erase or take back something you've said*
