Not a problem at all! It sounds like you have some issues that need to be discussed and I would love to see the people in the forum help you and be clear about machines/masks/issues, etc., without confusion.

I dislike the ramp feature - it confuses newbies as to what pressures they are actually using and it is best to ensure the mask is sealing well before you fall asleep.
A benefit to sleepyhead (see links below) is that it reports your settings and shows you the actual values so people can understand how the machine is set and what it is doing.

I agree...many new users have pressure needs in the 10+ range. They have their ramp turned on starting at 4 and then complain that they can't breathe and look for things to blame. If you are going to use ramp I think it should be started at a pressure a few under the average/median pressure. I pressure needs are 8 or below I don't believe the ramp is needed.
