Hi Valerie,

I've never refused a friendship invitation, I'm surprised at what small reasons people give for refusing friendship.  Everyone has their different opinions about sending or receiving ads in personal messages.

Hi Duane,

Thanks for being the first person to participate in The MISSING WORD Daily AD-A-THON For People Who READ!

I love that title!  LOL.

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for all your support!  It is difficult to maintain a standard among so many people from different places, we can't even do it in one city, for example... mistakes in speaking are so ingrained in people...I was telling my son's teacher here in west Michigan that he'd have a hard time trying to change the way the kids say things since their parents all do the same things in grammar and pronunciation...some of my teachers who came from different places and ended up teaching in Philadelphia also said it was nearly impossible to deal with the east coast accent, haha.  I guess expecting thousands of people to behave in a certain way online is almost impossible.

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for the polite example, hopefully most forum owners won't have to deal with too much spamming, but I guess they do!
