I accept advice if its sincere. she had to get up on a soap box look down, then spew "her advice" to me.
Go back and read what she wrote. it was insincere pretty much as could be, then after I explained that I didn't need her help, because we have come full circle in what we were talking about she got snippy with me, so I got snippy back.
This is how this works. If you want people to take you seriously, then be sincere.
Of course, She will just say that I'm taking it the wrong way but I'm not. Really read her post to me about getting into gemology
Its totally, soapboxish.
