Actually, to the whole list. Yesterday I sent a message responding to
Fixer's Pawns for SR submission and I probably came across as a whole lot
crankier than necessary. I lost my job last week and I've been a little on
edge, so I'd like to issue an apology. Sorry about that, Fix...it wasn't
your fault, and I shouldn't have snapped like that.

No worries, I received it as constructive criticism and didn't
even consider it cranky in the least. I'm not sure how to put this but,
in a month and a half I'll be joining you on the unemployment lines. Our
site's closing and the market's kind of slow right now.
My thanks to you and Wordman for your feedback, I've been tweaking
he pawns in response to your inquiries and will be ready for a final
posting to NERPS when I think they're 'tweaked' enough.
If anyone else has any shadowcomments or critiques for the pawns,
please send them either to the list or to me privately. I'm not
defensive at all about my work (unless you just insult it and refuse to
explain yourself, which I think is a valid reason to get upset). Thanks
again!

Now tell me, what was your problem?
