Huh? I was courteous to the person who responded without having read the thread, even stating that I'd done as much myself, many times.
It's probably tiresome to read through a thread, especially if it's not about something that is of immediate concern. I understand. I said as much.
But then if you hadn't read through the thread, it's not going to come to your attention.
As far as being a special snowflake, that wasn't written in a negative vein, and I didn't take it that way, but it is certainly food for thought. On reflection, I don't think my parents over-rated my abilities (quite the opposite, actually) or spoiled me or gave me a sense of entitlement or superiority. I've worked incredibly hard all my life; I just don't want to "retire." I want to die in the midst of doing something interesting, not sitting around and being old.
