Her "sneaky" comment seemed innocent and playful to me; and I agree, a bit "tongue in cheek".

What seems the most immature and selfish to me is for any of us here on YT to attack, belittle or condescend to anyone, much less a brand new person. We all have opinions and, in my opinion, they can be stated without being unkind. We have a lot we can teach each other...on every level.

I surely hope that YT doesn't get the reputation for this type of response and thread. For what it's worth, they make me feel discouraged and bring me down, and I know I'm not alone.

I'm sorry, OP. I hope you enjoy YT for a long time to come.

Thank You, you said it beautifully. I am sure many of us feel this way.
