liuaki_F,
Thank you for your responses and re-challenges.
Thank you for reminding me that there's a difference between an idea and the person who has that idea.
Hopefully we will have plenty more opportunities to play with ideas in the future.
You are right - I need to focus more on the positives for now, and once I have a few solid successes under my belt, maybe this will help settle most of the conflicts within.
Thanks again for being my teacher.
