@Private:
Well it seems my first attempt to buy a gold badge has failed as that badge is not showing on my posts.
I am feeling discouraged by dj’s failure to answer any of my attempts to clarify whether that is the fact, either in this thread, or by PM or by e-mail. When I get my bank statements I will double check and then decide whether to try again.
I enjoy this forum, so I might offer a lower level of support regardless.
My apologies for a not very positive post amongst all the demonstrations of support, but by being open with this I might just encourage an improvement.
Sorry I didn’t respond. I’ve been getting a ton of private messages lately and unlike email, there’s no good way to “mark as read” so I know which ones I’ve actually read or not. Anyway, see your PMs.
