Missi, you hit the nail on the head here. I've done the same thing, when I first got to this forum, and I tried to edit my post, but couldn't.

I kinda got upset when being corrected, but you can't. I haven't met one person on here that's attacked another person. Maybe made a comment on husbandry and what-not, but it's never directed to make one person look like an idiot.

I don't give advise out now unless it's already been pounded into my head by joe or some of the others. If I don't know, i'll try and provide a link instead.
