Hi there, just wondering why the "no script submissions until Aug 1" notification?

Has there been an extraordinary amount/backlog of late, or is it due to vacation time in the Northern Hemisphere?

Thanks, Libby.

Maybe Don is on vacation....  

Hey Libby,

Where do you see that?

Comes up on the "I wrote a script" submission link.

Well I'll be dipped. Seems odd that a site for scripts would be out of commision for almost 3 weeks.

Don has a life too you know... He doesn't owe us anything. If anything, we probably owe him...

Me,
Are being arguementive for a reason? It was a simple observation.  You do know this web site is a business, right? And you do know that new submissions create the interest that generates ongoing discussion, right? Which in turn makes him money on advertising.

No one is saying DON doesn't have a life, perhaps he needs a second person to help him out.

Lighten up PIA.

Shawn.....><

I'm being argumentative?...

Don is a nice guy. He does not make money off this site.

So....

All of the advertising here is for ...?

Do you know how web business works?

Money is not a dirty word. He better profit for his hard work. Otherwise why bother.

Shawn.....><

I just got off the phone with Don.  He's not taking any submissions now because Bert killed a California condor.

Pretty sad, really...

Hey guys, I didn't mean to start anything here. Mine was just a polite enquiry seeking clarification. I'm sure we all agree this site (and those who run it) is an invaluable resource/showcase for our work/meeting place etc.  

And anyway ... Phil's made it clear what happened!

No, I have no idea how a web business works. I'm totally clueless. In fact I thought Pirate Bay, e-bay and Google were the only ones making money.

Money is a dirty word! I've heard 100% of dollar bills have traces of cocaine and feces on them, which is why I don't carry cash.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Don has a life too you know... He doesn't owe us anything. If anything, we probably owe him...

I only hope I can repay someday. Thanks Pia. How easy it is to forget and take things for granted.

Easy, Shawn. Those who know Pia, know her response was not intended to provoke an argument. She offered her thoughts to be helpful.  Really.  I know her tone.

Phil, by chance did Bert hit that Condor while skydiving?

Shawn,

Just so you know. I take your point and it shouldn't be dismissed. Whenever people think something is for free, they tend not to appreciate it. This is clear and true and if anyone doesn't believe it, then OK, we'll just let it be with you.

Maybe Don does need help. Definitely, we should all consider this. Maybe we can figure something out so that his burden is lighter. I'm sure there are many of us here who would be willing to help... but you know how it is... It's the same with all of us, we don't like to ask for help.
