Not trying to be too mean-spirited, but what's with clueless people trying to post news? Manipulation? Ego? Disrespect? {nm} islander Aug 24, 13:53

I'm glad my news post came 2 minutes after your post..otherwise I would have thought you were talking directly about me :) lobogotti Aug 24, 14:03

+1....and trust me, I learned the hard way. harder than anyone on here imo. people have learned from my HONEST mistakes. {nm} lobogotti Aug 24, 16:58

For the most part, see the process that Antibody uses when posting news. He is the forum moderator and voice of HSX. {nm} Paul2k Aug 24, 16:25

Thanks. I probably started to post news too soon. I did watch Antibody alot. I noticed the sites he used, the way he wrote the news (...) DOW53 Aug 24, 19:39
