Glanbrok,
I realize that my original post was too blunt and inflammatory.

I should not have said "Get real." This post was simply intended as a
satirical attempt to portray what an "unskilled writer" would be like.
In retrospect it was too blunt and open to misinterpretation. I did not
mean to imply anything else.
I'm sorry I flamed you over this issue.
I was wrong and I overreacted.
Thanks for your time.
Randy
