I think you're letting yourself get in a stew here, ljt. I can't say that I understand quite what your aggravation is. We're all frustrated and overcome by the process of learning how to express ourselves with tones, no matter how far or short we've come. I can say that with confidence. I am in it up to my ears just like you are and have talked to some of the most respected people in the business who say the same thing. It appears that the art takes no prisoners regardless of level of accomplishment. There is always another tier, more questions, more answers.
Enjoy the process and be fearless in your quest for more. If you hold back, you will not progress. If you are shy you will live to regret your decision to take that stance. I have fought holding back all my life. Don't let it overcome you. Just go for it, just do it, carpe diem or whatever the current phrase is.
