There's a lot in this case to try to remember - many perplexing discrepancies to wade through. Most of the older posts have been deleted, and you wouldn't really want to go back through thousands of pages, anyway. The harsh replies turned a lot of people off.
But, as the saying goes, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Sometimes, though, it's when you're closest to the truth that people tend to turn up the fire.
As you said, hang in. You'll do fine and perhaps see something that we older posters have missed.
