    Mark D. R.: Yvette,

    Congrats for saying so cogently what many others believe.

    Now we must await the FS administrators to act constructively on your excellent suggestions/commentary and consider all the others too. I am not confident that we will see any changes immediately or even during the early months in 2019. I will be greatly surprised if they do modify even some of the concerns you had highlighted by mid-year.

    Y. M. Roger: Wow! Thanx, sir!! I must have some how missed the email on this -- I REALLY did not know it until I just saw your message.......I am SO-O-O blonde sometimes (but PLEASE don't tell anyone!) :) :) -


Y. M. Roger: Friday the 13th is this week.... Take it upon yourself to make sure "good luck" happens to someone who could use some!!! ;) ;) Do it anonymously ...... Leprechauns are everywhere!!!
    SueZen: YES, I noticed too and count it as a lucky day, because my son was born on the 13th of January, but not on a Friday. And I do what you suggest in whatever way I am able to and indeed 'anonymously' ! -

    MissMerri: Congratulations on this first place ribbon. The writing was excellent! -
    Y. M. Roger: Thanx a million!! I'm slowly getting the hang of everything here....as demonstrated by my belated response here (sheepish grin). I will be more diligent now! Blessings! -
    Y. M. Roger: Confessions of a blonde Fanstory author: I HAD NO IDEA of the existence of this listing where the site actually posts your placings in a competition!! I AM SO HEARTILY SORRY to have never responded to ANY of the notes I just discovered below this...AAAACCCKKKK! I feel JUST AWFUL!!! I'm thinking there should be some sort of tutorial for when you join -- not some insane initiation (some of the reviews could serve for that - lol!) -- but just something that lists these little tidbits that people might be sending you messages of which you are TOTALLY UNAWARE because there's NO notification ANYWHERE!! :( :( To everyone who has left notes in the past: mea culpa, Mea Culpa, MEA CULPA!!!!! From the blonde fantasy writer over here.....sigh. -
