Yes, since this is the puzzle section's 5th anniversary, the end of my exam weeks, it's way past my bedtime and we are all being honest with each other... let me observe this:
I cannot know exactly how many of these you have posted by now. According to your puzzle list you have posted 141 pages of mates in 2 which times 40 makes over 5,500 #2 puzzles. I am not going to count, but I would say that at least 4,000 of those are your own creations. Of those, I would be optimistic to say there are 40 (one page in total) that showed you put in some effort to create something original and worth your own while and that might also amuse slightly your audience. That's 1%, man!! The other 99% is just anticipated repetitive interchangeable folly (I do not know a good word to describe it). You could do everyone including yourself a favor by going through your own collection, delete those that show the same more than two times, and please, take notes of your favorite ones. Remove and repost those later for a "best of". And with your improved knowledge compared to six months ago, you can remove those of low quality for forever.

But are you actually going to solve your own stuff, because it would actually require quite some effort which the creation of these positions, which you seem to be able to create from thin air at the rate of ten per minute, does not seem to require from you at all. According to the publicly available stats you have solved 8,000 puzzles, 7,000 of which are your own... for each puzzle you solve you have posted three of your own.

Look at puzzle #875 for example... I have also developed from this primitive level at some point
