Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad by my comment.. It was an impulse... Anyway, not your problem if they don't like your spelling...

Yeah, you know, we also tend to wonder offtopic (see what I mean? we're offtopic), and it's not always clear that we've done that. There are people here with very strong convictions that will frequently look like they're pushing them onto us, even when they're not. (I think I'm one of those people)

Anyway, iceman's right, you've gotta be able to tell someone to **** off. That's something that's true all over the internet, and I personally think is true in real life. I'd add that you've gotta be able to call bullshit too when someone's posting bullshit. But both of these attitudes are considered "impolite" by so-called "polite society", and you may not be wired to do that sort of thing.

Otherwise, on grammar, it's just plain rude to attack someone's grammar under circumstances like these. We're an international group, so attacking someone's English is going to be pretty rude. There are exceptions (like when Jonathan attacks my grammar, I consider that an exception, I don't think he's a native English speaker, but his English is really good, and I am a native English speaker with high standards for what I write), but not many.

And most importantly, don't feel bad about leaving a small post if you just don't have time to write a longer one.

What makes me personally feel really bad, since I tend to write long posts (and long emails, this happens most in email) is when someone tells me it took them hours to read my post because their English wasn't up to the task, and then it took hours for them to respond, because I don't know their language. I can't think of anything I have to say that is so important that someone should spend that kind of time on it, really.

Yeah, it's not native. BTW, I'd never attack someone's grammar in a destructive manner.

woohoo my google ads have started to work for the first time ever

on the latest news page where I thanked angel for my domain name I see an advert for 'angel navigation system' LOL!

and on my page about 0260 blue floor tiles bug I see an advert for 'marble tiles at a low price' LMFAO!

iceman · Post by **iceman** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 3:14 pm

just improved the look of my google ads they are now in the form of a tron bike/wall , hopeing that more eye catching ad's = more clicks

one small problem is that there seems to be a small gap between the bike and the wall(ad)

its not a problem on my site its the google ad code, might be able to fix with css or ?

ideas anyone

thanks.

p.s. you might need to clear your browser cache to see the new page ads

iceman · Post by **iceman** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:34 pm

dont worry about removing the gap as ive camouflaged the problem by adding stripes to the lead up wall

again you'll prolly have to clear your browser cache again to see the new graphics (or wait about 24 hours)

please be sure to click on the ad's, you dont have to buy anything just click and earn me a few cents

I really need to get a paypal account so I can do something like this. It would be nice to have some funds to help pay for the domain & stuff, but someday maybe actually get a dedicated box or something. Well really, I'd just like money...

iceman · Post by **iceman** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 5:55 pm

paypal is easy to setup, I have one myself and used to have a donate button on my site but nobody ever clicked it

its free and only takes a few minutes to setup, go for it
