: : : : I wholly agree Riggs!
: : : : Dale, there is no need to cast aspersions on others' writing.I mean, I'm surprised that you have taken two years to work on something...it must be hundreds of pages long...In two years I have built REAMS of stories/ideas/etc....I pump stuff out overnight sometimes.....and while it's not always good, ALL writing is practice for the stuff that IS. While I sometimes wish that others here and there would check their spelling a bit (myself included!! SHEESH), that is no reason to go off on these guys. If you don't like the forum, do as you said you would, and DON'T GO THERE. There was a guy here who treated everyone as you are a bit ago, and Micah blocked him....We're all guilty of whining a bit, but you're quickly heading in his direction with some of the ways your responses are worded. I guess I'm just tryin' ta say chill out, man! I'm off my soap box now...

: For what it's worth, I've known Dale for quite a while, both on and off line, and must say he's been a top drawer, above board individual. I've had nothing but good contacts with him, and he has always followed through on all correspondence and business we've ever done together. I recognized his outburst above as simply one of typing an outburst before thinking, (not that any of US have EVER done such a thing before(grins)) and not one that actually reflects his true character. Don't think harshly of the man based on this posting. He's earned my respect from past practice, for what it's worth.....Regards. Michaelson

Well, I like to think of myself as a man of my word, though
sometimes quick to jump into action. I truly appreciate what you
said about me. Above all else, I am true to my friends, and I do
make a concerted effort to keep them pleased in all dealings and
transactions. Thank you for sticking up for me, it really means
a lot coming from you.

Your friend,

Dale Dassel
