Noted.

Take a look at my last few posts.

Noted.

> B. If Adam's a leech I guess I'm a diva. Writing stories is work for me, and if the reply rate is low and people aren't making the effort to tell their own tales (again, outside those few diehards) then I'm not going to go through the chore of trying to put something together either.

I have that problem too, except rather than just say "if they don't think I'm good enough I'll go elsewhere"...I don't have an elsewhere, so I just become saddened by it.
