Addendum to "And Your Little Dog Too"

It's important to note that after this rant, I went back to the forum and closed the thread in as civilized a manner as possible; shortly after that, I received a note from the Forum Administrator, telling me that she felt I had handled the situation well and that she did indeed feel that there had been significant progress on my part over the past while.

Unfortunately or fortunately for me, validation has always been an important part of my make-up, so having her tell me this made a huge difference in how I perceived the entire communication.
Now I'm HAPPY again (this is so sad)!
