The idea here is to be writing stories, though granted we tend to follow some general guidelines for this. I agree that the CIA thread used some things that probably weren't the best idea, but that's no reason to attack their general posting style. I used the interactive writing method, and it worked quite well. I like it much better than the email post bounced around the writers version. We've heard the complaint, and several responses. Now time to let it die and continue with our stories unmolested. There are better results when there isn't an arguement going on at the same time. -- Heather Sexauer Muskingum College hsexauer@muskingum.edu Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L.
