I have, on extremely rare occasions, fixed blatant spelling errors.

I have also, quite often, fixed broken quotes and swear words.

I know you say it doesn't matter to you, but is this really a problem for other posters??

Scottie,

Mister Scratch wrote:The other key indicator that this thread is a wash is the heavy participation of Jersey Girl. (By "heavy," I'm mean that her posts consist of more than a few sentences.) No poster in the history of MDB has made more silly demands of the moderators and administrative team. Honestly: Jersey has demanded a threaded view, different blog configurations, different colors for the board (to quote Harmony "Good grief!"), that questions be answered by Keene, and on and on and on. With this many obsessive, incredibly bossy requests, one has to wonder why she doesn't just start her own board.

In fairness to Jersey Girl, and I hope I'm remembering this correctly, she has contributed a substantial amount of money to this board. I think she is well within her rights to demand features.

Thanks, Port. Although I'm not sure what there is to envy...

Yay, I can fix a swear word. Don't you wish you were hot like me?? :P

Tell her to take her money and start her own board.

It will fail though as nobody can do it like the Doc.

"Holy Lord Jesus Christ", Scottie. (I've been waiting to use that on you forever now!)

I've never contributed one cent to this board and if I had, I wouldn't expect any sort of favors from admin on account of that.

I have demanded no features on this board. I asked about a threaded view. To describe it as "demand" is way overboard.

See ya, Scottie.

So, in your mind, you either run a board, or participate on a board, but you shouldn't bother to contribute to a board???

And if you do contribute, you should keep your mouth shut and enjoy the ride?

Sorry, not buying it. If the little I have gleamed from her posts are correct, she has every right to request new features.

Not sure if I should laugh or kick myself in the balls over that one... :)

Alrighty... I must have you confused with someone else. Sorry, my mistake.

And, yes, "demand" was too harsh of a word. "Requested" is more correct.
