John, I'll have to agree with Paul here.
Paul is a veteran of PM, and is usually easy going, which means you must be REALLY pissing him off.
Making your post counter higher won't make you be accepted into the group. Look at Chuck, he left before I joined, but had a lot more posts then I do. People still didn't like him, and I'm afraid your not heading in the right direction yourself.
I've been here for 5 or 6 months, but my post count is still very low. The only reason I'm doing OK is because I keep my posts to a min, and I'm in a development group.
John/Michall.. Keep the posts to only what NEEDS to be said, and if you have a REAL opinion on a subject.
