People provided their suggestions and later found out that the thread starter was looking for nothing but either agreement with his assessments/conclusions, or positive reinforcement in the form for "wow, good job mate! keep it up!"
If a thread starter doesn't want any criticism, whether positive or negative. That thread should never be started in the 1st place. No matter which direction that thread may go, the thread starter should only "listen" and "appreciate other's input" and never involve in any argument. After all, the thread starter should already know his own opinion. There is no need to repeat his own opinion in his own thread.
