I wish you the best.

Yes, I'm amazed at their patience too!
I'm also amazed that this comment didn't come sooner or in more harsh terms. I've seen the angry, red-faced rantings of people who can't stand people like me. Those people do not have the temperament to be teachers. Teaching can be fundamentally frustrating at times and is not always a rational, linear process when you are dealing with humans and their emotions. Teaching also take empathy and empathy can only exist if one can remember the frustration of their own learning curve.
Have I searched. Hell yes, I've searched. I've also read through other forums - extensively. One thread I read through was 120 pages long and I never did get a good answer. If I can get the attention of a few good people and ask questions on my own terms, I can learn a heck of a lot faster
.
Why have people put up with me? Perhaps because I'm genuine, I really am trying, I'm making good progress. Perhaps it is because they feel sorry for me. For many, I suspect it is a challenge. In other forums on different topics I have gone from completely useless to Guru status - and now often spending a great deal of time helping others partly because it is a challenge.
It is OK to help others in this format. Nobody is hurt by it - and often the people doing the teaching end up learning more than the student. After all, we teach what we want to learn.
A different device? Perhaps you didn't read that part of the thread. I'm now committed to this one, warts and all. I trust the experience and opinion of others in this forum and through them have determined this phone will work very well for me in the long run....but there is a learning curve I must go through. So be it.
