Just as a reminder, I didn't know if it was appropriate to post this kind of thing in this forum and in fact thought it would be locked shortly after I posted it. Seeing as how it's been a few days and it still hasn't been locked, I think it's safe to say that it's being allowed to stay on here.

Also, finally people are starting to mock me for posting this On the upside, I assumed I would get mostly people condemning my post and my attitude from the offset, but there have been a ton of people who seem to genuinely want to help and give support, and I'm so happy to see that. It was a very nice surprise. Thanks again to everyone giving constructive advice.
