- Well there is a big difference betwen a posting :
-
- "Hey world, I finally got my name in print!!! :)"
-
- and
-
- "XYZ is rpoud to announce the release of the latest blockbuster
- by Ima Riter, it's wonder, it's great, rush out and buy one!"
-
-
- Okay. Perhaps a little exaggeration there... but only a little.

-
- I think that you would be surprised. I think it would great if writers
- felt that they could share their achievements with the newsgroups...
- and okay, so you maynot be excited by the release of the latest
- hardware manual/role playing scemario/Romance/PI etc..
-
- But IMHO I really think that the feedback, and dare I say
- encouragement would be welcome by a hell of a lot of people.
-
-
-
- Just a thought, while I lay my neck on the line.... :)
