This post reminds me of the old joke that goes something like this: "A woman was watching the High School Marching Band at halftime, of which her son was a member. Once she located him in the formation, she was so excited that she cried out, "Look! Everyone is out of step except my son!".
The point is, that if several people on TT keep telling you the same thing, maybe it is time to examine why they are saying that! It is amazing that you can wonder why so many people are telling you the same thing, but fail to question if they are onto something!!!
