[PD] New users and external path struggles

[Dan Wilcox]

I'm on my own page because I can't read any more 4-5 paragraphs per post and, when I write my own, I don't feel they are read anyway.

Working on Pd the last couple weeks has been rewarding in providing usability improvements but, at this point, it feels like whack a mole & burn out. Sorry if I'm crusty these last few days ;P

Today is the last day I can put any real time into it, so I'm giving things a shot.
