You might find more insightful responses to your posts here if you skip the group scolding (Which gets kinda old) and respond to specific writers. If you stick around you might find that the posters here are also like you, as you pointed out about MMY. Many posers who criticize him are not implying that they would have "done better." Not everyone shared his goals or assumptions. Don't hold back on personal stories.
