Not to complain TOO hard, and maybe I just got confused about this, but I originally submitted “The Twinkies Project”([http://www.twinkiesproject.com/](http://www.twinkiesproject.com/)) link for Wierd Earl’s, yet TubaDiva is getting credit for it on the main page. I was told that all submissions for Wierd Earl’s are to be E-mailed to TubaDiva. I submitted “The Twinkies Project” to her. Afterwards, I found a thread in “About this message board” where Wierd Earl’s were said to be submitted to. I did not see one from TubaDiva there with the link to “The Twinkies Project”. So what’s up? Again, maybe I’m doing this all wrong and just got confused on the whole issue, but aren’t I supposed have the credit for submitting that link? If not, how do I submit a link so that I CAN receive credit in the future? Other than this mix up, I think TubaDiva is doing an EXCELLENT job! ---

I never heard of having to submit them through TubaDiva. There is a “Weird Earls” thread in ATMB where I posted mine (and got proper credit for it) a while back. Try there next time. Esprix ---

I’m thinking that I’ll try that next time. No offense, TubaDiva, but it did kind of irk me at first when I saw that. ---

Dragwyr, you did the right thing. It just got confused. Let me explain. As I said in my email to you: > [@](#): > > This is GREAT! We should pair this with those sites that do horrible nn-Geneva-convention things with Peeps. In the email I sent Ed, I sent him both urls, the one for the Twinkies, the ones for the Peeps. I did not make it clear YOU were the contributor on the Twinkie side of things and I apologize for that. It’s not Ed’s fault, it’s mine for not being more precise. And please do continue to send Weird Earls to me; I vet 'em before they go up to the big guys. Ed’s swamped as it is and Cecil can’t be bothered. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

No problem. It just took me by suprise. I’ll keep sending them along then. ---

So… Is it possible to have that corrected?
