Perusing my 2003 Writer's market would seem to confirm that in this day and age when sending rockets to the moon got to be so easy we quit doing it, that the Publishing Industry is glacially backward inasmuch as they're still asking for your MS in printed form by snailmail:

Dale, this seems to me an attempt to recruit from AWAD talk board on your part. I am not amused. Yours was the initial post on that board. If you wanted to discuss it here, why didn't you copy and paste your post here instead of linking to Wordcraft. I assume you know some of the history that prompts me to post this. If not we can discuss it by pm.

Con: Forgive me. The rules vary from one board to another. In WC it is bad form to link to WS, but I just simply didn't realize the converse was also true
I thought I was being considerate by providing a link instead of copying the entire thread
How did this mutual antagonism arise

Dale:
Basically, the person who later started that other board attempted to destroy this board (his stated intention was to "nuke" it, IIRC.) He was eventually barred, but only after causing huge amounts of strife, being on the borderline of stalking people who were attending an AWAD get-together, and generally making life miserable for those of us who have been around for some time.
I personally stayed away from the board for several months because of this person, and would prefer not to dwell upon it further, as the memories are less than healthful.
It would be best, quite frankly, if we refrained from further elucidation of this in public. If you require further information, I will reluctantly help you search the archives so you can see on your own what happened. I'd prefer not to, so unless you have some need to know other than curiosity, I suggest that we all move on to better topics.

dale this is at least the third thread you have "bubbled back up" when we were letting it die a natural death.
you say this won't be a habit, but its sure looks like this is becoming habitual behavior.

No Dale, less sensitive or even non-responsive is not terrible... but certainly frustrating as well as a bit confusing... repetition usually is a good teacher. I was also in the middle of that which OfTroy is a lot more sensitive to (than me), and although I currently couldn't give a flying rats booty about what happened then, I wouldn't ignore the effect it had or has.
peace

Dale, I gave you the answer to that question by PM. You read it, you responded to it and it was essencially what TEd wrote, was it not? Now, leave it alone.

TEd, mus, con: Goodness, as Rummy might respond, I had no intention of offending or raising hackles. I wasn't sure about the linking and had no idea that bubbling was obscene (no pun)
and con, yes I probably did but don't hold it against me (again, no pun) as I don't keep copies of my PM's and even if I did I doubt if I would go back and reread them all every time I wrote a followup. Life's too short and I'm too old
The WWW seems a hotbed of hostitlity
