awfully quiet -- 2555 chances at redemption

ok, so i've been on this listserve over 7 years. that's over 2555 days. during that time, i have advised you what to do. you didn't listen. i offered to help you. in return, you attacked me, denigrated me, slandered me... every day, i gave you a new chance at redemption. you blew it... over 2555 chances at redemption... i have written several drafts of yet another post telling you how you missed the boat on what i have been offering you, and i will consolidate all those versions, and post it sometime soon... but i'm here, today, and tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, offering you _still_another_ explicit chance at redemption... i will upload a web-app today. this app will be a collaborative project of this listserve, aiming to instantiate the advice i've offered you for years. every day, based on feedback given on this list, i will improve the program. you must give some kind of feedback -- reviews, requests, whatever -- on the app _every_day_, or the project collapses. each day, we just have to make a little baby step, some kind of improvement moving us forward... it doesn't have to be a giant step, just a baby step. but if we fail to make a step one day, it's all over... we're going to start small, and take small steps. but if we work together, _every_day,_ it won't be long at all before we have something worthwhile. together, we can create something of value. or not. the decision is up to you. this is your last chance at redemption. don't blow it. -bowerbird

I just joined this list and haven't gotten your "2555" emails. I'm also working on a web app. How come you didn't launch it in the past 7 years? On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 12:07 PM, <Bowerbird@aol.com> wrote:
