GREAT analogy!
These forums can be an excellent feedback loop, I think, if you read your own posts with a generous "ear" -- listening for the vibration that you're broadcasting. Its amazing how people will start a thread, and everyone reading it will "hear" and respond to the vibration, the persistent negative thought patterns, the limiting beliefs, the stored-up negative emotion, but the OP will insist that she feels like she's broadcasting a vibration that's exactly attuned with her conscious desires! It's often pretty funny, except that the OP can get pretty frustrated and irritated, like Rumpelstiltsken.
Especially when you're complaining that people aren't hearing you the way you want to be heard, or irritated because people don't understand you, or upset that you're getting a response you don't like, or no response at all -- those are golden moments of feedback loop.
