i_like_snow, you're kind of over-posting. I don't think there's an official community rule or anything, but if you could limit yourself to a post every three days or so (1-2 a week), I think that would leave some more airtime for other members of the community to pose questions.

I'm not a mod, so it's just a suggestion.

Just an advisory for the future, a_a doesn't allow people to delete their posts after a number of comments have been made. I quote from the community rules ( ... )

"If you feel that your original post reveals too much personal information, you ought to edit it to remove that information."

*Wonders if there'd be anything left of endsindillusion's posts if s/he did that.*

Well, there usually *is* nothing left of endsindillusion's posts, since most of them end up disappearing completely within 24 hours or so.

But there's a certain amount of futility in getting endsindillusion to obey the no-deletion rule, since she just comes back with a brand new sock.

I think your request is a bit controlling.
