|Yes, poor IF1. The people who decided to post without thought to FAQ
|or guidelines. The poor, poor downtrodden individuals. Damn the
|those list members who had been here before and were irrationally
|upset at those who would throw incorrectly formatted posts all over
|the place! Damn them! Forget posting guidelines! Forget doing
|things in an established way!

OH! And I suppose all your posts were absolutely perfect from day one where
they?

YOU never make mistakes....
(Not even earlier this week when you posted a comment about a post to
shadowtk instead of plotd....)

Can you say Oooops....

|Now with that said, I'm really sick of hearing IF1er's whine about
|how they were treated. We all, at one time or another, new or now,
|received the same response when we made mistakes. And if we had kept
|making those mistakes, in volume, we would have kept recieving that,
|and stronger, responses.

Ahhhh, but from what I've heard, some of the sad people on this list
immediately killfiled the entire lot of us the moment we appeared.

AND, some people received personal e-mails that were VERY offensive.

In fact, that is the entire reason we started IF1 in the first place.
To show the losers on the group that we won't be scared off by petty and
offensive insults to more sensitive members.....

Notice that we ALL cleaned up our act VERY quickly...

We have our own little plotd type thing going on in the background, just to
sort these errors out......
