Peace is good.
Thank you for your support of the fort.
It's good you won't let anyone ruin it for you, but you aren't the one
you are posting for. Do you download what you post? You wouldn't want
the way you post to ruin it for somebody else, would you? Not that I'm
saying it is. So far. Naturally no one can please everybody but
compromise usually displeases the least.
Mover wasn't the first to discuss floods. I did it recently with that
multi-named poster who flooded at your request what you weren't looking
for.
What you advised people to do to only see text messages isn't going to
happen. Only *your* newsreader does it easily (and doesn't do much else
well). People come here for fun and downloads not for work.
Something for you to consider.
I had said a while ago I was going to write and post some more stories
and ask other posters to do it too. I didn't and won't while there are
gigantic floods going on which make my stories too hard to get noticed.
I put a lot of work into them. I won't do it for nothing. I don't know
if you like my stories or want them here but I think some people might.
What you and other posters do has a direct effect on that.
What each of us does effects what others do here. I think real peace is
when we act like we know this.
