Why do you feel the need to try and rip off portions of my posting
style? They must have been pretty effective though against you if you
think they're worth parroting. Unfortunately what bothers you will
never bother me I'm afraid. ^_^

Right...so what you're saying then is that there are no artists in any
of these froups, gotcha.

Of course, the opinion of those who have skill are always valued.
It's sort of like if some bum on the street was giving you advice
about how you should invest your money...are you REALLY going to be
concerned with his opinion? Of course not, he's a bum. But if say
Alan Greenspan were to tell you how you should invest your
money...probably yer gonna take his opinion pretty seriously.

Drastically. If I start going around doing work for free, that
essentially takes work away from others looking to try and make money
off the trade. It not only affects their choices, it affects their
entire lives as well as the lives of countless others. Not to mention
the whole butterfly effect.

>Do you really think anyone is going to help you do anything?

Of course. They'll help me by attacking my work and overly critiquing
every last nano-error in some foolish attempt to seek verbal
retribution...I'll then use that completely unrealistic standard as my
starting point. That, BTW is also why I have so much more skill than
anyone else in the lot of these froups...I continually hold myself to
God like standards and force people like you into setting them.

You just ARE silly.
