Hear, hear!!! I thought I had written the above because it mirrors my
opinions almost to the letter.
This recent berating of the member that distributed the info on the $1 FPDW
by "nudge" is so beneath us. Now and again, any of us may be privy to plays
via networking and as part of an "insider track". I have no quarrel with that
and enjoy it while it lasts. But when the play finally goes public, (and they
all sooner or later do) must we then hunt down and humiliate the person(s)
who thought enough of the general membership to let them in on the play?
Maybe our list will generate to a system of barter; i. e. you announce you
have a "play" but not the location. Then you ask for people to e-mail you with
a "play" they've found and you'll "trade". Give and take. Oh, isn't that,
in reality, what we have been trying to do with vpFree??
