When I was making suggestions about shorter blocks and simpler standards for PCB's here, I would start out feeling somewhat hopeful, or, at any rate, pleased that I had gathered my thoughts and written them down.
However, the experience of never having my thoughts acknowledged become more and more difficult to bear over time. I did not expect agreement, or any action without many other views being expressed, and much discussion taking place.. Rather, just a simple, "thanks for letting me know your ideas.. which could have subsequently been shortened to "thanks".
The silence, (in addition to the extremely long blocks I was getting) gradually changed my original relaxed, friendly relationship with Bob into one marked by tension and uncertainty. The fact that my posts about Babble were never acknowledged felt like passive aggressive acts to me, adding to my sense of being mistreated.
I am mentioning this because it's likely that Bob may neglect to respond in a timely manner this time, too. I am hoping people will learn from my reactions, and won't lose their cool the way I did!
