Don't stop posting Lurker.....just stop being so worried about a potential warm up two weeks from now...it really has no relevance on the next week or two, and may or may not pan out like it's being shown???????
There are alot of METS here, and hobbyists that really know their stuff(that's what make it a good site), and sometimes they can get easily "frustrated" with newbie questions and Green-ness so to speak. Just try and let it role off your back and move forward...learn and continue to post. You're a decent guy...don't give up so easily ok :-)
