Scott: "--Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm ashamed that 
someone thought I wrote this flame."

Scott,
I've had my share of flames, but nothing like this. Sounds like 
someone is extremely jealous of your 200+ reviews (one more, 
now :) ). I feel really sorry for the kid who got in the way of that 
can't-see-anyone-doing-better-than-me malevolent identity-snatcher.

Scott: "It continues to amaze me that some people can have such bad 
grammar."

Sam: "I get frustrated at people who can't understand the difference 
between you're and your, and when to use each appropriately (sp?). 
And the their/there/they're difference. And the whole apostrophe for 
ownership/plural deal. I seem to be seeing "CD's Sale" wherever I go. 
I didn't know that a compact disc could *have* a sale!"


I was almost offended by that. Not all of us are native to English, 
and good beta readers are hard to come by (Yes, Scott, I've seen your 
list, very impressive <BG>). I was only able to assemble a serious 
beta team in the middle of my second story. Although Jim Flanagan has 
worked with me on some of the previously released chapters, I 
wouldn't want any grammar-sensitive person to read them.

Thanks, yael
