Confessing a total failure on my part

Not everyone gets how forums work - many treat them as a single ask and answer website and don't really learn to engage and tap into the social aspects.

If you're seeing a pattern consider changing things up - consider giving the review and opinion on a select number in the open forum. That encourages others to come in and share their views as well as strengthen the chance for some discussion to arise from the experience. It also clearly shows to others what you can and can't offer and how you offer it .

I think I wasn't clear.

I'm not sorry about the way things turned out.
I would rather have turned out to be the terrific charismatic magnet to everyone (that I am to Mishele) but, in reality, doing all those C/Cs is time consuming.
By being a cranky misanthrope I have that much more time to spend with my real hobby which is thoracic surgery.
If you think getting good models for photography is difficult, well ...............

That being said, if you have an appendix, small bowel tumor or a minor dissecting aortic aneurysm, we can do a TFS deal.

Wow that is great..the mentor part anyway. No one ever asked me to be their mentor. I'm not looking to mentor anyway. I don't know that much about digital.

Good for you anyway with your mentoring that you were able to do with the limited exchanges.
