@ Alasdair
It would probably be best to make an effort to avoid letting your mood/general outlook rise and fall according to what some twerps online say or think about you. (And yes, I count myself amongst the "twerps" in this context). And perhaps not be so quick to call someone who you happen to exchange friendly posts with, "friend".
It's a setup for disappointment, really.
There are many people I like, admire, and enjoying engaging with on this forum...doesn't mean they're friends. Would the majority of them be willing to do almost anything within their power to help me, and I for them? Nah.
It pays to be realistic about these things.
