And I don't need a lecture from a rude egotist. But perhaps you were having a bad experience at the time you responded. If you were, I sympathize with you, and it might be a good thing to wait until you are feeling better before you respond to any future posts.
Incidentally, building/repairing 31,000 bikes over "a touch less than sixteen years," means you have "built/repaired" more than 5.3 bikes a day, every day of the year for nearly sixteen years, on average. Forgive me for doubting you.
Couldn't care less if you doubt me -- it's been my career. And re-do the math, since my DAYS OFF only involved working on family bikes.
Your "concern" for my feelings is touching; save it for yourself. I was TRYING to save you from going down a path that would teach you NOTHING. But you go on ahead...I don't have to fix what you screw up. Grease your cables with your own hurt feelings.
To the several other scoffers...."It's not that you're not on my level...you're not on the level below me."
