Yes, that is what I am best at.

Yes, I am too emotional. Probably too old to change my personality (I
think that I was born with it). When I submit a correct technical
explanation and am treated like I was just wasting someones time, it
does upset me.
OTOH, when people ask me pointed questions, I have learned to just
presume that they have a Germanic personality and try to give them a
good answer.
What I expect is that someone will explain to me why my idea is wrong,
or (preferably) why another idea is better. It is this type of
discussion that improves the product.

Thanks, hope yours was better than mine. My Father fell down. Had a
concussion so I had to take him to the hospital (he got out on the 24th)
and take care of him for two days.
