**dropzone** , I heard that. Hehehe

**iampunha** , I’m dancing right along with ya, cutie. Thanks!

**Grace** , didn’t you know you’re the reason I’ve been gone so long? Sheesh - now I have to leave again. 😉

**Diarrhea!** Thanks, girlfriend. It’s nice to see you, too! 😃

**GolfWidow** , I’m still alive and well. Thanks for the nice welcome back. 🙂

**Mr. C** , you know I just adore you!

**Maeglin** , I’ll look forward to getting your picture.

**mega** , thank you _again_ for your kind help. Better be careful, your halo’s going to need polishing if you keep whipping it out like this.

I wasn’t the only one who found her comment rude. Until now I never knew our sites were “competing”… I thought they complimented each other. I was actually going to put a link to hers on mine. I made a quick post in this thread earlier because our two sites are related. Who knew she had a chip on her shoulder about it/me/whatever? Anyway… I’m pretty much done with her/her site/whatever. If you want to discuss it, email me.\*\*

No, that’s not why you figured you’d say something Opal, and you know it. Your post in this thread was _far_ from innocent, so don’t even try to pull that one on me. What you did was come into a thread that was directed to _me and techchick_, where people were expressing concern over having submitted pictures to our site without seeing any recent updates, and declaring that on _your_ site they won’t have to wait for anyone, they can do it themselves [insert OpalCat gloating here]. It was intentional, it was rude, it was inappropriate in this thread (given all the other places where you’ve made your announcement about it) **and you know it.**

I know how you feel about me and how far back your grudge against me goes regarding _The People Pages_ and _I’m_ not the one who’s been acting like this is a competition. You had your pages up long before I started this one – and this one wasn’t even started by _me_ initially, I just took it over from techchick. But when I did, and people liked it and were having fun with it, you started all your moaning and crying about how everyone seemed to forget about poor, poor, pitiful you and all your hard work. (Funny, I didn’t see you whining when techchick was doing the picture pages - hmmm.) Not once did you ever post anything complimentary (at least not that I can recall) or indicate to me in any way that you’d be interested in, or even willing to, link our sites together.

So Opal, please don’t go there with me over this whole competition issue. I honestly have no issue with your site whatsoever. You have an incredible talent that I could never hope to come close to – and I’m not even going to try. But I’d certainly appreciate it a lot if you would refrain from your little semi-disguised, backhanded comments in threads that truly have nothing to do with you or your site. Thank you ever so kindly.

**Uncle Beer** , my comment was not unnecessary (see above), and I think OpalCat’s was way more than a bit over the top for MPSIMS. But that’s JMHO.

Yes, Shayna, your comment was unnecessary. I’m locking this thread in an attempt to thwart off any more bad feelings.
