I've read through most of the postings here and it's clear that most of you are, or often get frustrated because you're not progressing as quickly as you'd like. Well I, then, find myself in good company because I end up there myself quite often.

But you know what? After reading through all of these discouraging messages, I actually find myself somewhat encouraged. Not because I'm happy about your struggles but because it shows all of us that none of us are any more deficient than everyone else.

As much as I hate to say it, the old adage "misery loves company" seems kind of applicable for all of us. There have been many times that I thought that I just totally suck and I should give it up. Seeing that I'm not alone encourages me because I realize that it's not a huge challenge just for me, but a huge challenge for everyone else too.

So... I encourage all of you to consider this and just keep on trying; that's what I'm going to do. One of these days we'll start a new thread named something like "Remember how we used to suck? Just listen to us now!"

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. :)
