I know this doesn’t belong here but I posted a message a few days back and I would like those who read that one to see this one. I posted spam about my own board that I realize I am wrong for doing. And after discussions with one of your members I would like to post an open apology to everyone for doing so. I have learned valuable lessons about what to do and not do at message boards. I will not do this at another board again. To all: I apologize for my action. Thanks for teaching me that lesson. It’s a painful one to learn, but now I know better. Thank you for you time.

IMHO, that just isn’t good enough. You signed up here, so start participating! 🙂 With the hundreds of threads available, surely there’s something you have a strong opinion on, a question in GQ that you can help answer or want to ask, a poll you’d like to participate in in IMHO, maybe even a question for Cecil himself. Stick around, and show us what you’re _really_ made of, o.k.? ---

Esstriol, good to see you! I’m glad you’ve decided to contribute here. Perhaps Anai will follow. An apology from Anai would be warmly recieved in the MPSIMS forum. ---
