Think you have the wrong end of the stick. I certainly don't get paid
for posting here. Think I meant that I earn  the majority of my income
writing -  it was in response to a post by Carol H.

Right, but at least they'd be on topic. If I remember correctly I
recently posted my opinions on presentation /websites to attract more
players to the hobby. A number of people (including Steve from
MadCentral - a large PBM company) posted mainly disagreement with what
I said. I was quite encouraged by what some people said - Again, I
didn't see your own opinions there.
I'd also suggest that at times on this NG people don't post their
responses to posts as they don't hold a strong enough view to warrant
doing-so. If you felt that my views were either 'condescending' or
'attacks', then hey! Sorry, David! I thought it might be a change to
post on something relevant to PBM and particularly on the intranet.
Also, I'd hope that no-one felt they were under attack simply because
I was expressing an opinion - I'd be rather surprised if anyone had
such thin skin.

As an aside David, I'm actually talking to a few people at the moment
with ideas on perhaps the improvement in web-design / web presentation
of a number of websites. Perhaps I can post you some info?

Marvellous, I've amended my email accordingly. Though my suggestion
that you respond to what I said was intended for you to direct your
response at me on the NG so everyone could read it.

Cheers!

You dive into the traffic rising up
And its so quiet
You're surprised
And then you wake."
