I used to read your posts some time ago, @richq11 . You are a good writer, and you seemed to be doing fine with your rewards. I believe you should keep writing and stop begging. It's counterproductive. You can only beg once or twice, but you can always write. Some posts will do better, some will do worse.

And please, stop barking at people that raise valid points. That's what you are doing now. And you are doing it to someone who is actually giving you alms!
