my apologies guys if ive come off that way.
i probably spend more time on the forum than most so not much passes me by.
i tend to check whats new almost daily, even if not logging in.
so there is no way i would have missed the defoliation101 thread, i tend to gobble up threads that would benefit me on my journey.
in regards to the Peter warren series i recently posted a check it out thread in the hope others could benefit from it as i myself have been.
i have this bad habit of assuming people are lazy. when the thread title popped up i thought hold on, there was just an entire 101 defoliation thread covering this subject in great detail, i thought how could this guy even miss that, either he's lazy or just couldnt be bothered to go through it all.
when problably he just missed it, i realise we all use the forum differently, some lead hectic lives and might not have much time to check in on a regular basis. so come on and immedietly want quick fire questions answered. and thats what the forum is for.
i have this way of thinking, if i can do it then so should you be, if im putting in the effort to sift through valuable information, you should be doing this too, so why arent you...again, we all use the forum or even the internet differently.
btw Conar, i know Andy from weetrees, he's actually been around longer than you have.
i have this other way of thinking, that if i dont see someone putting in the effort or at least as much effort as i do when needing to find information i wont help out as much.
in my earlier years i spent a lot of time researching and rarely asked questions.
even here, i was a lurker for around 3 years, rarely asked a single question, got all the inspiration and info from sifting.
posted progress threads when i was more confident.
i shouldnt expect others to learn in the same way, everyone wants it quick n fast now, often the attitude is well why should i search for it when i can just ask a quick fire question.
i feel i already contribute a lot by posting progress threads, i did this on weetrees too.
i again realise not everyone has the time to absorb information in that way.
so again my apologies.
