A third person's POV was used about 3 weks before I did use it, and not
attacked on PlotD. And as I said: I took the hint, haven't done 3rd person
again, but will when I found a way to do so. Improving the formats to find new
ways to express myself - and staying within the formats. That ok by you?

Not "it" - you. But I still have to see people of us "talk about how hard
it
is", but I am sure you'll point out.

Funny. You sure?
+++++ include video
or was it ...
+++++ begin download: name
or was it name.ending
or was it
+++++ BEGIN DOWNLOAD
or rather
+++++ Begin: Download
or... ?
The FAQ advises us to use the "+++++ include", but how do you point out what's
in the included file? And mind, the "+++++ Begin Download" was first used by
IF - improving formats.
Did you miss these problems? Funny.

Yup, sorry. I just checked my logs and have seen I accused you wrongly. Yes,
you were among the people with constructive critc and a helpful hand. Sorry to
have you attacked on this one, really.
But you misread what I posted twice (*blush* - to TK (wrongly) and here) about
the newcomers guide. It is to _help_ people following the formats, not to
release people from reading the FAQ.
And don't you fragg... *cough* sorry. We had the discussion about reading the
FAQ before, and I think I did prove more then once I read it, forward and
backward, and still had probs with it, and tried to follow it, even with the
"spirit-3rd-person-mail" (see discussion back then, and my arguments why I did
post it as I did)
So, please, do _not_ accuse me of not reading the FAQ. I did.

a) see above about reading the FAQ
b) We did tell them. On our private EMail conferences. Mostly much faster then
anyone on PlotD. And we discussed formats, plotlines there, too. If you
weren't so biased we all never read the FAQ and where just here to whine, you
might have noticed how fast the people within the IF plot did learn.

*sigh* That discussion we had already. There are some points not covered in
the FAQ, some have been changed after that discussion in the FAQ. Yes, already
we have left our traces.

Strange - the first removals Jim did were -IIRC- people who flamed... hm,
makes you think I hope :-)
