Fwd: Re: OT: An Essay Not Mine

["jd bean" <jdbean01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

Ive been reading some of the mail regarding feedback, and as someone who
generally sends comments direct to the writer direct, i guess that im guilty
of not getting involved in discussion groups.

Unfortuanately, i get very little time to sit in front of a PC as i only
have access at work, and obviously that seriously restricts what i can get
up to behind the boss's back! :-)

For those of you who feel that people like myself do not participate, im
really sorry you feel like that. I love the sites i have joined, and the
fiction that some of you guys and gals is fantastic. I generally print it
off and have a good read at home of an evening.

Anyway, enough of my waffling.......my boss is coming out of a meeting!

BTW, my name is Jodi, im from just outside of London England.

For those who have the talent to write.....Thankyou.

All the best
Peace
Jodi
