Hi Don,

I don't think anyone was actually intending for any negativity towards this site. Not at all. Sorry if it came across that way.

I think we got off track with talks about viewaskew.com...and the whole membership payment thing that goes on there. I for one know what its like to create a website, let alone what its like to be moderator to a relatively quiet one in comparison to yours! And yes, it does cost money to maintain.

I really hope you don't think we don't appreciate all your hard work and effort that you make towards this site, because it is recognised and valued greatly...hence your regulars "cough".......

I apologise if it went off track, as I know its too easily done...!!But that's not to say that our ideas can't be pursued some time in the future, should you wish to take up anybody's offer of help etc...

Once again, I hope that you know now that we are actually in support of your site, as it is and everything you have done here to date, as it is excellent exposure for everyone's work.

Don, thanks for hearing me out!

I was saying this site is better than viewaskew because you don't charge for your message board, without this site specifically I'd not be a writer anymore if at all

It was after people like Kessler, RE Freak and Alan Holmon to name a few who have been here a long time that I even stayed a writer. There work, attitudes and all of there contributions whether knowing or not to myself and others.

Other writing web sites die down this one has beeb living for a long time and hopefully it continues for many more

If anything this and this is my own point of view and I have not check out any other message board like this because I'm loyal to Simplyscripts only but this is one of if not the best web site I've ever visited writing related or not

I visit this site more than anything else because of it's members and the dedication Don has placed into the message board and main site

So I'd never intentionally bash this site because it has done so much for me in many ways and on many different levels

Hey Don, no harm no fowl.

I do fully understand what it is you do here and want you to know my little gas and match comment was a joke and it wasn't at all directed at the site as a whole.

You give us a gift to put our work out there, for free, and let us reap the rewards at the expense of your time and your money... I know I owe you a whole lot of respect back for all the good and bad things my screenplays have gotten off your site.  

So, don't go thinking it's all for not.

What you do here is bigger than words on a screen. This is a service to any and everyone, good or bad at what they do, to learn, progress and maybe be someone better.  And guess what...?   It's all for free  << That's the jew in me coming out mind you >> I kidd... I kidd... I do...

C.K.

Good thoughts~

P.S.
I guess now would probably not be a good time to insert a plea for my own "What a long strange trip it's been" Baltis board though would it?      I might have got your name mixed up with santa Don.

Wes, my sentiments exactly, thank you!!

I really value the feedback I receive here, but moreso the opportunity of receiving it! !

Don..... Group hug  - lol!

"....come on...Do it!"

I got an e-mail the other day from a guy who has the same name -- first and last -- as a character from AMERICAN ANIME.  He was offended by "his" portrayol, and he suggested changes to the character.  I MIGHT change the character, but if I do, it'll be even more unlike the real person (whom I've never met), because, as they say: "ALL SIMILARITIES TO A PERSON, EITHER LIVING OR DEAD, UNLESS SPECIFIED OTHERWISE, ARE UNINTENTIONAL."

If it weren't for this site, I wouldn't have gotten that e-mail.  Fun stuff.

If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have gotten an msn messanger virus and a death threat from one of those 1 time posters and than they leave kinda members but also you have to take in to fact the multiple people you meet that otherwise you wouldn't and forget about the bad things

and my message board gets me e-mails like:

OMG I LUV BUFFY SO MUCH I HOPE YOU READ THIS EMAIL I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT BUFFY ASK ME ANYTHING!
