What?

Youre not packing up, Clarissa????

Hi there, Jen
No just thought I should change my Journal and as we cannot delete the journals, wrote the first thing that came to mind...
Did you receive the e-mail I sent to you and Cad.
Basically, keeping up more out of principle than anything else...
Clarissa

Hi Clarissa.

What. What.What What. What. What.What.

No Clarissa,

Please, you can not do that, we do need you,

You are a main stay of our fragile defence.

Only a few more days to get a result one way or the other, we are still in business, and we have won many concessions and put the fear of lost votes in our goverment, authority will never admit openly any defeat, they hide it to the bitter end, but make no mistake,we have dented the armour almost to breaking point.

Our campaign has had far reaching effect and is still hurting, stick it out Clarissa, just to a result.

Cheers H.

Yes, I second H - We do need ye about girl! God, i need ye about!!

And I did get your wmail - sorry I haven't responded yet. Wanted to get some of this GW stuff out of the way first as away for the rest of the w'end. I've read all and will drop a wee 'e' Sunday night.

Gotta dash now - have work at nine and nota limb washed or a dog fed.

And both of you - have a lovely, peaceful w'end. Will chat to you both soon.

Take care,

Jen

Hi H.,
As I explained to Jen above, all a question of putting something new into the Journal and yes, I shall be here till the bitter end - and most bitter it will be...
I can only say I do admire your optimism..
Result? I do not think it will be the miracle it would now have to become but I AM here, not that I can do any more than I have done. I have exhausted all my ideas and contacts. But I shall still be in full support of us poor few who are still here today and probably will be till that fateful date of March 24th/25th.
Lots of love
Clarissa

are you saying there is still a chance of saving gw??

gg

Clarissa,

Got me going there, yes you did, without saying too much at this time, I am afraid that you are not quite looking at the problem of journals in the same way that I do.

You may remember I have highlighted this problem right from the beginning, and now that we are committed to running our campaign in the direction that we have chosen, it pays to look for the strength of our efforts and not the weaknesses, also look at the scanty information that we have been.

Eds have helped as best as they can, and some help as been given by them as far as they can give it, they are also facing the chop.

Governors being made redundant first and being blamed for all the problems and inefficiency is a great boost to our efforts, a bost that does not seem to have been seen by many of our members who continue to trickle off and lose interest.

No harm in trying other sites, all sensible people have done it, personally I can see very little to attract myself, and I will probably quit or reduce time on net, and use my time on the more important things in life.

Journals are very important, because we have been deliberately mislead in the points of information regarding deleting, it is stated that we can delete, and it is our right via copyright and control.

If this point regarding controlling your work is made strongly, be enough members, I feel sure that it will be deleted for you before the site closes, and I say even yet, if it closely completely and that I doubt, our fire still burns very brightly and it is bloody hot too.

Cheers H.

Fight!

Hi GG,

No,
I do not think that we can save GW in this format, but we can still get a good deal, perhaps an even better site in the end, this one is far from ideal, and most of the members did not deserve the opportunities that it gave to them in the first place.

I do realise that the BBC have good reasons to put this house in order, if only to clear up the many legal problems that have occurred, or may easily do so.

Lawyers cost money and many companies have failed because of the high costs involved. Therefor the system must be as securely contracted as possible at all times.

The very first warning before Christmas caused mass cliff jumping by the very costly no -hoper Lemmings who dominated this seat of practical education and expertice. They should have been directed to a chat line and left to it.

Cheers H.

Hi Mark,

Good morgin to you,

If you have look round anney's site, have a look at my pictures, there are better stories in those pictures than I have ever put on review, just waiting for reviews and opinions as to whether I put any conclusions to them, or just pull them off as I usually do if they get lurkered and ignored.

Cheers H.

Sorry LMS, but what does this mean exactly?

Neil F.

Hi Neil,

Good morning to you, in a nutshell I do mean the facilities to learn to write better, meaning it does not matter how efficient a person is, so long as they make use of the the chance to learn even more.

I came here in November without a clue about such things, superb members here, taught me how to write more efficiently from the very first day. They have obviously become very discouraged, and are trying to work elsewhere.

From then on I have tried to pass on their very patient lessons to those that I could possibly help, discouraging non, encouraging where possible.

When members tried to save the site they were bombarded by idiotic, malicious chat that completely submerged all ideas and efforts to save G.W. and some of those great writers also gave up and went to other sites, a few have carried on to the bitter end, if that is to be, so be it.

Having noticed that you yourself have contributed much to the effort, I feel sure that you know exactly what I mean, and I for one thank you for staying to the finish, or even as far as the better deal that could still be in the pipeline.

The final plans are not yet disclosed by those in power. The Eds; have also tried to help as much as they have been allowed to do, perhaps on occasion going just a little bit further than that.

Only time will reveal the intentions of the new management, and also the final result of our ongoing campaign, so we must just pass time on to the end of March, feeling lucky too, my birthday, and my grandson's is the 23rd, it has always worked out all right before.

Just one small point have you noticed anyone actually finishing a project on G.W. or are the reviews generally just a lot of bits and pieces,
with no sense of direction.

The site was probably intended to produce completed work for T.V. I wonder how much has actually been acomplished, yes! there has been some, and there is a great deal of marketable material in review, and some left on site, and not properly deleted even now despite the mass exodus.

Cheers H.

Hi Clarissa,

Looking around I see that you and many others still have work to remove, if we do have to leave home eventually.

Personally I feel sure that we should stay, till the light goes out. Also to keep posting in a limited fashion, and to keep reading right to the end, the work and it's copyright, are a sound subject for negotation.

But being a bit on the suspicious side I do not trust the management to bend their policies any more than they have to.

Information from management to delete your work is scanty, from the journal none at all, in fact we were told that it is not possible, that is an incorrect statement.

We have been told that we can remove our work anytime, even after closure. I would advise anyone not to make too much of that promise, it can be a controlled programme.

It would be a good idea to remove all work of sentimental value or a potential cash one at this time, rather than get involved in a mad scramble at the last minute.

Anyone still relying on management instructions and advice, may have problems by following the instructions published previously, these are the ones on which we based our agreements in the first place.

Please just try using the pasted instructions, these are the ones that says that work is removed from the site by using this method.

The eds; have said, that even they can not recover work after deletion by this method, in fact it appears to only go into limbo and is quite easily recovered.

Everyone should check now to see if they can remove their work now, there is little time to spare if the worst happens.

--------------------------------------------
Q: HOW CAN I DELETE MY WORK?

If you really want to remove your work from the site, click 'edit' on the work itself and scroll down to the bottom of the form. Click the 'remove' button to delete the work.

Cheers H.

Hi H;,
I have deleted a lot but as a matter of principle I am leaving things on my pf till the last moment.
I reviewed two pieces today - Candice on non-fiction and annie on fiction, her piece about the AIDS sufferer.
Still keeping on GW but am also on WD now. Not that I have posted anything there - just a few reviews.
Have a good weekend, H.,
Clarissa

Hi Clarisa
sorry to be so long in thanking you for your unstinting support and good hunour its more than appreciated.

Good night both.

H.

Chris,
Am always here for you - either on GW or per e-mail...
H. and Chris, we will overcome, if not in winning in the end, in our hearts and consciences. We will have done our best and of that we can be proud...
Good night and God bless
Clarissa
