PS..I Really need to Shaddup...it's 3:40 AM...but HAD to add that the "Snipers" that Michael Laskow Replied To so WELL here at JPF DID Have an Effect on Me:

I bought a TAXI Membership August a Year Ago..got SO Busy (Postin' on The Sole Board we had was a Big Factor) That I never USED the Membership...(The Paperwork Involved per-Submission/$5-per-Song Submitted were Big Factors in My Procrastination)

...'Till AFTER I read Michael's Response.
The Man frankly Impressed-the-Hell outta me! I'm on my 10th TAXI Submission this Month--(One of the Many Reasons I'm NOT Posting so frequently on Either Board..Preparin' These Takes TIME) and have about 5-6 MORE I'll be sendin' in over the next week. {Hopefully, I'll
send something Good Enough In, that I'll get Something Signed/be in a Position to REALLY Sing His Praises...but even if I Don't, I find I truly BELIEVE in What He's Tryin' to DO for me & My Fellow Would-Be Successful Writers.}

DO let Michael KNOW that Yeah, a few JPF'ers may have "Savaged Him a Bit"..& Yeah, This HAPPENS Occasionally, but the MAJORITY of Us Here thought he did a MAGNIFICENT Job of "Settin' the Record Straight". Doubt ANYBODY coulda answered a Critic BETTER! I plan on Scrapin' ANOTHER $300 together & really USING My TAXI Membership Next Year---& he can THANK this little Forum here for Making up MY Mind..heh-heh!

Thanks and "BRAVO" again for Both of Ya..
G'nighty, As Well!
Stan
