I know I'm a kind of person that's hard to work with, mainly because I
sometimes look for "a needle in a haystack" regarding some things. I
never tried to hide that and can't really help it.

Thanks.

As I said once, I try to avoid unnecessary complications whenever and
wherever possible. No offense, but your English is not perfect (as a
matter of fact neither is mine) and I personally find some of your
explanations confusing (maybe because I'm not a native speaker) or
overly complicated.

Also, as already said too, I seem to be a "consistency freak" so some of
the cosmetic changes are rather for a new text to consistently fit in
with the rest.

You are aware that from time to time I try to contribute but most of the
time I end up being shouted at. That's when I realize that I don't need
all that crap and that I'm better off keeping silent whenever I can.

But from time to time, I decide to try again and well, same story over
and over again. If you were me, would that bother you or make you feel
bad/unwanted?
