I just jump in and offer advice, even though I'm not all that great at any of it.
I figure if they don't want the advice, then they will say so, I note that the particular poster doesn't want advice and try to remember not to give any to that particular person. Then I immediately go stick my nose into someone elses posts.
I figure it's an open forum, if you post a picture or a question or a method, then you expect to get feedback. If the poster doesn't want feedback, then it is usually made clear pretty quick and I pull my head in with them.
I don't feel closed off, but I wish more people would give me advice, I really would love to improve my planetary processing.
Go in with the assumption that it isn't a 'closed group' and it is much less likely to become one.
My apologies to anyone who has been offended by my posts in the past, and to those I offend in the future, but I like it here to much to worry about walking on eggshells, so if I get put of line just tell me so, and I'll give you a wider berth.
Until I forget and bug you again.
