Hello Sapling:
All I'm saying is why would I question an oldtimer who is trying to help me, why would I say to myself "He/She's full of crap, I'm going to do it my way".
It's the same as going to the Dr with your symptoms and getting a scrip or a treatment prescribed... and not following through thinking that I know more than the Dr.
Is my sponsor correct all the time... NO, he's a human being with my best interest at heart. He can see my disease better than I can.... that's why most of the advice and suggestions I get go right against my grain.
Wishing everyone the best.
