I agree. I didn't do my research, didn't "case the join out" for a few days (weeks?) before I began to post outright. I probably should have posted in these comment areas for a little while, building trust among readers until I gradually got to the point where it would be ok if I were to post on the main page. In hindsight, that's what I should have done. And in the future, if I am given a similar opportunity that is what I will probably do. But my personality is such -- and I had a lot of built up preasure vis-a-vis writing for "mass media" audience such as The Marmot's Hole -- that I didn't really think the whole situation out too carefully and made a lot of mistakes that I could have prevented. I had journalistic blueballs, if you will. And for that, I'm sorry. As I have already mentioned, I will be responsible and post a minium amount so as not to aggrivate the situation anymore.
