Hi Kingman,
While I’m sure you are at least half-way patient in real life, this didn’t exactly come through in the above post. Posting a second time seems odd if you didn’t expect anyone to see it but I guess you must have had your reasons, just as we at TOCH have ours for moderating every member’s first five posts. It’s to make sure they’re not a spammer (around half a dozen of those sign up every day) and keep the site from being buried in garbage.

A tragedy that you feel that your time is being wasted but I and John (my fellow moderator) also have lives to lead beyond this forum and we check in here - on a purely voluntary basis, because the site owner asked us to - when we can.
