Hi Dick:
As I related in my PM, your work is excellent and I wish you only the best in the future.
Just my opinion: In reading Scott's posts in the few years I've been active - he has been VERY positive in IAP. He may have a "unique" sense of humor at times (which I actually like), but I don't think there was any intent to be sarcastic or "tell you what to do," In fact I believe he was trying to be sympathetic for someone that "was burned out" (your term).
Sometimes, a change in activities is helpful, and after a while we go back to things we love to do.
And I'M NOT telling you what to do. You are the best person to decide what course is appropriate for you.
Best Regards, Mark
