That's exactly what I was trying to explain, but I guess I'm not doing it well. I didn't mean to offend or hurt anyone. Only two people responded to the post I made, but it still turned into such a lively discussion. I think I really hit a sore spot. But I didn't mean to, really! And I just want to repeat what I've already said: "I accept the time frame as fair and honest." And that's true, no matter what it ends up being. Ten days have passed, ten weeks will follow, it will be hard of course, but if it finally gives me the opportunity to show my game to others, then it was worth the wait, and if it happens much sooner, then I'll throw a party.
I was really interested in gaining experience from others, learning how it happens from those who have already experienced it. And I'll be honest, I got even more than I expected, so many useful thoughts, now I have something to think about, something to learn, and most importantly, now I'm calm about my game.
