commercial messages are unwelcome here, especially by people who we don't know at all. the mercenary post really isn't the best way to introduce yourself.

i do not speak for EVERYBODY of course, but there has been a lot of annoying spam here lately. why is it people use their first post to sell something? if you think about it, you will understand it's like a door to door salesman knocking. an irritant. anyone here is free to visit your site of course, i am not the cops here. but i tend to jump on the spammers.

You may not speak for EVERYBODY but you spoke for ME... sorry, I don't
much care for that kind of thing, either. Certainly not "Right out of the gate".
Might be in a minority, though, if other people like it. Wouldn't be the first
time...

Dragonslave, I'm not gonna take up a lot of space by quoting your whole
post...
I will only say that I didn't make negative comments as far as your post
when I could have easily said something like "Visited your site hate it think
it's stupid" or whatever. I didn't. I just said *I* personally don't care to see
stuff like that. That's my feeling as to kinda what FG is all about, you say what
you think. I didn't assume anything about your motives per se... except that
it DID come off as an "ad" and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there is
something when you sign up for FG that says you aren't sposed to do that!
And your last lengthy post with background would have perhaps been better
as your FIRST post in any case. Just MHO.
Maybe an admin can help us out with clarification on the whole "ad" thing.

Dragonslave...
Your site is beautiful and I have bookmarked it.
I also admire your positive attitude re your life circumstances and am sorry there was a negative response on this forum by a few, but as I am new I had no idea what I was reading didn't belong here.
Whether "allowed" or not...too late now as I have your address and can read your site any time.
Best wishes and continued success in your venture!
