I am sick and tired of it.
So are many others.
For those who wish to do nothing but post flames,
all are invited to participate in the FLAMES echo.
I am the official moderator, and take no sides.
As a designated flame echo, there is only one rule
that applies - NO ILLEGAL ACTIVITY.
That includes SPAM (apart from the kind in a can).

Yes, I am partially at fault for having posted flames
in this echo.  But at least I am man enough to admit it.

I am starting my New Year's resolution a bit early.
No more flames or personal attacks in this echo.
Starting now.

My interest is in honest debate.
Not cyberbashing.

Not only am I a musician, but I am also a journalist.
And yes, I do have the credentials to prove it.
However, unlike John Wilson (broadcast journalism),
I was active in both broadcast journalism and newspaper
journalism.  New York Times sort of thingie.

Ward wrote a nice article in the FIDONEWS.
Let's see what you (and others) can do.
I will do the same.
And not just a one time thingie.

No copying stuff from web sites.
No plagiarism of any kind.
Originals.
Whether it be puzzles, games, articles,
recipes, ascii art, or anything else.
My works are all originals.

Let's get with it.
Time to play some Dixieland.
Dixieland in FidoSpace...
