Hello everyone! :)

My first post here.

I don't wanna bring the subject up, again, as it's been brought up for too many times already, causing nothing but flaming.

However... I can't go by, without saying anything to the author of an article I read in a newsletter I got in my inbox today:

"LAJ, amen! You got that right!" :xthumbs:

Sorry, but it's anti-American to exercise your right to free speech. That First Ammendment thing... that's only words. Who told you they actually mean something? Webmasters especially should try to disregard the First Ammendment and the anti-American sentiment it encourages.

The simple fact is this: If you don't support our troops' right to die needlessly in foreign countries, you're un-American and unpatriotic. What's so hard to understand about that?

Just so everyone knows, the article McSpike is referring to is listed on the front page of xnations. (http://www.xnations.com/main.php)
It's quite a good read. Nice article Jay...

Quote taken fro LAJ's article ----
Before I get into my rant here (and I DO have quite a rant coming up that will most likely be all over the place), I’ll state the obvious: what I write about in my editorial is solely my beliefs and not necessarily those of anyone else here at YNOTMasters. Sometimes I guess it’s necessary to say these things to help avoid shooting the messenger. Yes, I sometimes receive flack for what other people have written in YNOTNews as if their views were an expression of my own. I don't wish to censor that which I disagree with (with the exception of racism and hate speech for example.)
------------------------------------------------------------

That is one of the best Journalistic Intergraty I have seen in a long time .. Way to go Jay. You did and do an amazing job. I'm proud to be a contributing writer to Ynot .. keep up the great work!!

By the way, LAJ, to put my sarcasm toward your critics aside for a moment, great rant. :) Of course I agree 100%.

Huh. I think you are being sarcastic - a typical ploy of the liberal-pinko-Commie-Symbanese Liberation Army conspirators in our midst. Don't you understand that our beloved leader has decided that, in order to defend the integrity of the United Nations, he has to tear up the charter of the United Nations? Can't you understand the logic of a war to prevent the possiblity that he might start a war. I mean, duh ... he's muslim, some of the terrorists are muslim, somewhere someplace is an Iraqi who has talkied to a terrorist - I'll bet you that some of those 16 Saudi hijackers had even talked to an Iraqi at some point. Can't you understand how alienating a couple million more Muslims is going to scare them away from fundamentalism by proving their point?

Duh. What kind of proof do you need? A new-clear bomb or sumthin?

LAJ,

Shhhhhh be vewy vewy quiet... I'm hiding... lol... Evil Chris is just as old, don't be fooled by his fresh face and Canadian vigor!

Yup, it's me. I still have the old emails setting up appointments/interviews for Gary and Otto for hire at YNOT and they own it now...lol

Not to mention the old hangout on HD somewhere... ahh the days of hand editing 2000 listings. You were spot on with the seeing them come and seeing them go comments; you know what I'm talking about cause you've done the resources gig yourself... Provides a very good cross-section and overview of the industry as a whole as well as a guide to who's been where when and what they've accomplished/built since then...

Bottom line is, if you are in it more than a few years and making a good living then ya have 90% of the rest beat... for now. No excuse not to move on, expand, grow and continue to build on successes... you quit playing the game, you loose your edge.

Then again, maybe I'm just the luckiest inbred SOB in the world and don't know my ass from a hole in the ground... ;)

BTW- Who's handling the content listings now at YNotMasters(Standard Content listings (http://www.ynotmasters.com/listings/content/standard.html) )? Submitted a few times but don't seem to be having any luck. Ethics bar me from using backdoors; so can ya throw old dog a bone? ...lol... :bonk:

LOL... too funny regarding the Gary/Otto for hire... that goes way back!

You make some really good points up above too:)

OK... content listings... Chris H. is our service Directory Admin for standard listings and Luiza works with YNOTBob regarding our premiere listings. I'll hit up Chris and see what's up. In the meantime... sorry if your listings aren't appearing! I'd say go ahead and try one more time http://www.ynotmasters.com/szone/submit/content_submit.html Lemme know how things go either way man!
