Well, Candy, it seems that you want to give them honey, but Guy and I prefer to offer them a brown eye.

I don’t really understand the hostility among you guys… I am assuming there is a valid reason for it. If there isn’t, why don’t you just cut it out? You attract more bees with honey than with vinegar.

Doesn’t make them any less of a linkbait. Guy, how bout you chill out with the lame insults such as “bonehead”? Thanks, mate.

I don’t get these boneheads,
why write if you don’t want it read?

Here’s a newsflash for you Nic, JB and others – I write every posting hoping that it will be widely read, appreciated and commented on.

Your criticisms are groundless. Every single publication leads with stories designed to grab people’s attentions. That is precisely the way I write.

However, I neither manufacture stories nor publish fiction.

Agree with JBagley, 100% linkbait. This post in worth nothing more than that. But nonetheless, good linkbait. End.

Richard

It seems that you (and a few others) still don’t get the point about self submissions. I have always said, and continue to say, that self submission is okay as long as its not repeated self submission of all your posts. (Go back and read all my comments on muti if you dont believe me, I have been saying it from the start) Why is the distinction so difficult to understand?

Here is my point again: If you are a new blogger or have a new site its fine to self post it as a way of introducing the site or yourself. Even if you are a known blogger, and you feel you are making an unusally strong point, such as your post here Richard, and noone else has posted it then its fine to post it. What is NOT acceptable is to post each and every one of your items over and over again and NEVER post anything to any one else’s site. This is just plain selfish.
