Just a little suggestion here.
You jumped right into a thread of your own as your first posting experience here. And I think more people responded than you had anticipated. It can seem a little as if everyone is attacking you at once.
One good way to deal with that is to pace yourself. Maybe set a number of replies you can comfortably handle per day, and don't exceed that. A message can wait a few days for you to reply. As you slow down your rate of replying, you will usually find that the responders slow down to match.
Take a break for a day or two. Then when you come back to the thread, pace yourself at a rate you can handle without feeling overwhelmed.
