While I'm sure it was no one's intent, this thread kinda jumps on the OP. Take a look, he/she is a pretty new participant who, I'm also sure, felt they were helping folks out by providing a link to what appeared to them to be a good deal. Obviously, others didn't feel this was a good deal.
Perhaps, a little more acknowledgement of the good intentions, and a thanks for the suggestion, but then go on to explain why it might not be a good choice. It just seemed to me the responses were harsh and off-putting to a members future participation. Just the way it struck me.
I'm often accused of being blunt, less than tactful, and opinionated. I'm working on it, so I'm trying to look critically at how I respond. Hopefully I expressed this point in a way that is considered constructive criticism and not slamming - that's how it was intended.
