Nevermind.I'm an idiot.

Nevermind.I'm an idiot.

So I'm buzzing along on WA yesterday..feeling good about myself..making progress slowly. I decide to head over to site comments to interact...build up some WA credits for my account. The usual stuff. I take a look at one. Wow...this is nice. I'm envious of this person's ability. I make a few innocuous comments then move on to the next. Same deal. Beautiful site...what do I say? This person has it together. Why are they asking for comments? On to the next one...an even better site! WTH? Are these people showing off or what? That's when I start getting the disapproval emails. Hmm? I'm just trying to help here. Isn't that what we are supposed to do?????

Then I actually take time to READ the disapproval email.

Ahhh..comments? Ugh..OK..feedback? Oh yeah...but isn't that the same thing? Oh...no I guess it isn't. Oh man...my bad! Sounds the same...not the same.

To all those whose time I wasted...including Kyle who got a rather lengthy private message before I realized my mistake... I sincerely apologize. But it is a bit confusing to a newbie.

To anyone new here who reads this post...on WA comments and feedback are two very different things. Yes. I know they are synonyms...but trust me...they are different.

Just another "learn from my mistakes" post.....
