Either way, as of now I'm not interested in being defensive about my
work, as I say it's mature and can stand on its own.

Well here's a good example for those who wonder about how defensive
I've been in the past, as posters routinely, like Randy Poe here, make
replies that are useless because they don't make sense.

Notice, the full position was that a person should do brainstorming by
one's self or with others ***who show interest in helping you***.

I've found that posters routinely do things like that making their
posts useless, and worse, you waste time parsing through to see little
tricks like that, as here it's obvious, but it can be more difficult to
figure out with others.
