@sanman Yes, I definitely see your point! Thank you for responding. I guess we won't know what the OP's intentions were, but my impression was that it was someone having a hard time coming to terms with the "no," and the "information gathering" post was done out of frustration, anger, and disappointment.
I will admit that I felt for AppDad because as much as we are all warned to: "assume it's a no, unless you hear a yes" it is pretty tough to do, and many of us end up doing the exact opposite.
Just wasn't crazy about the "wah, wah" post...how does this help our forum? That kind of judgment just discourages members from posting and contributing.
