Explaining my comment again.

After spending a day on this thread [never suggesting that no one else did], and actually coming closer to resolving the issue in my mind that was bothering me as a result of some of the wonderful posts, your comment sounded like it was a waste of time to me. It was quite deflating and sounded negative so I made a light comment with a lol at the end (tone), not quite knowing how to take it and I stated that.

This thread is obviously important or it would not be continuing, I've done all the explaining I'm going to, and don't think the thread should be used in this manner.
