Although sometimes I do find that the signal to noise ratio does go
through the floor, I rather enjoy the mixture of people, the list
does seem to fluctuate, and I have noticed that we have had a new
influx of hopefuls recently, not to mention the odd troll.
In over two years, I have never found any work through the list, but I
have found a great many nuggets of information and am eternally grateful
to the various people who have occasionally helped me out of a jam,
kept me informed, and made me laugh.
Huge thanks to the list keepers, and Tony who always has the best link
- I do recognise his email, and a few others.
I have been very busy doing my own things but it is nice to know that I
can drop in and out of a conversation, I often delete days worth of
messages at a time because I was too busy to look at them,
As a single mum of a teenager living in a really everso rural area,
working a lot of time at home alone, I really appreciate the contact
with people who know what I am talking about!
so thanks everyone,

Im sure that someone could work out a solution for this,
but actually it is just bad manners, which is what we moan about.,
think of it a training! someone tuned you from a gawky and graceless
adolescent into the suave sophisticate you now are.

Its done that to me once when I unsubbed for holidays etc but it was ages ago,

I can't remember what I did to fix it ( was there an unsub box on the
site at one time,? that you could put your email address into?)

however you would only have to contact Andy or Dan - email addresses
on the website ( http://www.freelancers.net/forum.php
bottom left hand corner.)
and I am sure they can fix it for you to leave.
Good Bye and good luck!
