Would everyone on this list be kind enough to http over to my LGPGames
site? I just joined Link Exchange, and they send my banner ads to other
sites based on how many hits I get, and since I don't have any yet...well
you get the idea. I need to prime the pump so to speak. If everyone with
web access would hop over there sometime this week and take a look at the
various games pages (download and play the games is ya haven't seen em yet
- StarRanger is way cool) I would appreciate it.

I'm writing another Crash Course lesson this week - stay tuned...
Thanx.

Your message hit me kind of on the same theory as software piracy. What's
wrong with an honest visit count?

I most likely would have visited...until I read this.

Thanks, but no thanks.

It IS an honest visit count. I'm not asking everyone to go a hundred
times this week, just check out my page. Gosh, why do I get eggs thrown
at me EVERY time I put up something to HELP us here?

Yeah, it came off to me the same way. I don't care if you visit my page
or not. I'm not going to visit someone elses page "because it gets my
ad displayed". I'm on the Link Exchange too, and out of the couple
hundred times my advertisement has displayed on another page, only a few
people visited.
It gave a ratio, but I forget what it was.

Micheal, why don't you apply for the Euphoria Webring, it's free and will give
some little more exposure...
I'm sure nobody will get angry with you if you help the ring to get bigger ;)
Bye,

I'm sure SOMEBODY would around here. =)
The LGP Games page isn't a "Euphoria" page really, although it has a link
to the Euphoria Home page on it. Our Euphoria page is already on just
about everyone's link list, which I'm VERY happy about, by the way.
If I WERE to join, I'd HAVE to build a better animated graphic for the
link.

Yahoo! As soon as I can remember the number for 911, we can ship 'ol Micheal
Packard to the jailhouse! Though I admit this request WAS a bit cheesy
(can't afford some real advertising?), he's not breaking any laws and is NOT
forcing anyone to go to his page. Sheesh!

Good for you.

Now who's being cheesy?

DAMN! I only asked (nicely) for people to visit my page. I'm sick to
death of getting jumped on EVERY time I post ANYTHING. I'm leaving the
Euphoria Scene for good.

Mike, I too have been puzzled by egg throwers. The only conclusion I
caan offer is...People are no damn good...but they are all we have. Don't be
discouraged. I/We will be happy to visit and well rewarded for doing so. Bye Art

I wish you would reconsider, Micheal...your contributions to the Euphoria
programming community have not gone unnoticed. I know I have benefited
greatly from our discussions.

Watch your language, Packard! You know as well as I do that I was kidding!
Sheesh! Some people just want to get flamed.
And don't think it's just YOU, Packard. When I came on this mailing list
people jumped on every little thing I said, even when I tried to be helpful.
This includes you, Packard, and you know it.
This has been another letter from SUNSHINE at MIAMIU.ACS.MUOHIO.EDU :)
