I have not been doing much genealogy lately, while it is never a chore, it can be overwhelming, and it is nice to take some time away from it for a while, and come back refreshed. Maybe if you are worried about this persons narrow minded opinion, a bit of a break from genealogy could help as well.

I was just sitting here thinking.
If all the inventors in the world had stopped
just because their first ideas or their research had failed at the first hurdle.
none of us would be sitting in front of a computer would  we!

We would still be sitting in mud huts with ox fat oil burners for lights.
Pharma T none of your research failed, Some jumped up researcher who sounds like s/he was raised alongside Jacob Reece Mog. Fails to grip modern life, discount their rambling for what they are WORTHLESS.

Well I've logged back in, more to do with the weakness of feeling lonely rather than anything else. Thank you for all you kind comments.  I haven't binned my research but  have lost faith in it, have no pride in my work anymore.  Not that I was that confident in myself in the first place.

Oh, thank goodness you have responded.  :D  I, for one, was getting a little worried for you.

PLEASE, please, just do what you WANT to do - NEVER take as "gospel" what others tell you to do.

Very, VERY relieved to see you back.   :D :D  :-*

Welcome back pharmaT - it is good to see you haven't abandoned us all.

Hopefully you will regain your confidence in your work soon and will be able to enjoy it again. 

Don't take it to heart if someone tries to come across as superior in how they do things. 

I once told a lady that I had got into war research because of ancestors who had been killed in the Great War.  She asked if I had actually been out to any of the battle fields.  When I replied no she said "Ah well, that's the difference between you and me .. I have actually been out to the battle fields.'  This was said with an air of superiority but I just laughed to myself about it.  I may never have the time or money to visit Ypres or other places but that doesn't make me any less.

pharmaT please don't let anyone spoil your enjoyment .. Hope you feel much better about this whole situation soon.  SO glad you are back .. isn't this tremendous how much support you have received!  You are obviously cared about by many so take heart in this.  Good on you for not giving up and throwing away all your hard work!
