Established sounds fine, doesn't it...? Well, yeah. But _how_ to do things -
that was compiled by people of IF. Find problems - that also was done, and
mostly solved, by the people of IF. (Hm - now how do I get a spirit in here...
will find a way) The FAQ gives just _rough_ ideas how things _might_ be done,
re-read what pete comiled to see what would be better, and HELP getting a GOOD
guideline together.

Till then, stop your sarcasm, or define _to_me_ how to include videos. Texts.
Descriptions. Anyone on here has his/her own way to do, most often not even
continious within a single character's posts...

We didn't whine. We did work, and compile Pete's Newcomer's Guide. What have
you done but whining?

Mistakes are done, by everyone on the list, and after last weekend I am among
the badest wrongdoers, but those are formatting errors - forgot to remove
.sig, forgot to remove quote. Apart from that, IF has _really_ tried to gather
how to post on TK, in a way not just obvious to "Mike", but those people who
were interested, and I think, we have managed to expand the ways to post.

What are _you_ whining about?

(Um, after re-reading - maybe I was a bit harsh. But then again, this arrives
me at a bad mood, and I don't think it's based by anything, so... what the
fuck?)
