Reading through my reply, I'm baffled:
No defamation of character or confrontation in this reply, I promise.
I guess that means it's going to be deleted before anyone reads on,
not that this hasn't been the case days ago when people see my name
show up. I apologize for my attitude gang, I've been feeling stressed
a lot and it's all come out this weekend on the wrong folks.

Funny how that happens :)

Which is what I've been doing since the start of this thing when I decided
it would be cool to place special restrictions on the content.

Well, so far it has. I mean, the whole point of this thing is that it has a
theme,
and that there are heavy restrictions to the content, ones which I wrote
out months
ago. It makes the contributions slow going, though, but they sound pretty great
so far. I've only had to discard one because it obviously used sources
other than
commercials.

Miscommunication, I think. I just felt from the start of the thread that it
was clear this wasn't hanging on the droplift name, just the distribution
method. If that wasn't clear, by golly, it is now!

Oh....well we ARE in a agreement.

Neither am I. First time I took on a project like this, and I'm
already feeling overwhelmed.

I just learned that word recently...it's in the dictionary now! Geez, oh
man, welcome to the 21st century. I guess it's safe to say that now,
isn't it? We're close enough.

Yeah, that OTHER place...but don't tell Gino I'm there, he'll send
the mafia after me.
>Is this boring everyone else, or are we interesting enough?
I feel as though I put this place to a total snore many-a-post ago.
I guess we could get Geraldo in here to inpsire some chair throwing
to make it REAL interesting.
I'm overwhelmed by the celebrity names (in my book) that I've seen
on this list so far that came out in this thread.
Now all I need is John Cage to come out of his grave and yell "SILENCE!"
