Repeated from previous AW thread:

I am in AWE at the job the Absolute Refugees have done in rescuing AW from the jaws of Google oblivion. This is not a technologically oriented community. Oh sure, some of us are techno-geeks in our day jobs, but the majority are not. And yet they have bent to the task with a will that is inspiring to watch. They've stepped up, learned things they thought they'd never learn and done things they could never have imagined doing.
It makes my contribution of setting up the AW Refugee Camp trivial by comparison.
I know of other on-line communities that would have shrugged their shoulders and wandered over to Writers.net to see what was going on there. But not this crew. It says volumes about their commitment to Jenna and the Absolute Write community. People who disparage this as a "lovefest" have no idea how right they are.
I wish I could name everyone involved. I know I'd inevitably miss some. But I just want to send you all a huge THANK YOU!
So when a baseball player hits a homerun, does he run the bii?
Dawno said: This is a cautionary tale of sorts. When you decide to do something like this on the spur of the moment you don't really think through the consequences. You end up with a lot of folk who have great ideas and find yourself wondering if you should take a week off from the day job so you can do it right.
Ha! You mean like setting up a "temporary" AW Refugee Board that now has 255 members and 3000 posts? All in less than a week.
Note: Tomorrow will be the one week anniversary.
Now you just sound childish. Better quit before you devolve into incoherence.
BTW, you wouldn't happen to be the Mark A York who picks fights with just about everybody in the comments on Lee Goldberg's blog, would you?
By your fruits are you known.
Mark A York: And it makes you look so small and petty.
Mark A York: And of course YOU aren't grinding an axe or anything here, are you?
Oh, and for those who missed it up-thread, there's a temporary AW Withdrawl forum here:

Re: James side of the story:

Notice (paragraph 9) that everytime there was a bandwidth overage, Stephanie, HIS OWN PARTNER, intervened on AW's behalf? And then he wonders why he gets a confused email from Jenna Glatzer. Stephanie takes care of this again and he blames Jenna for not getting back to him.
If James wants someone to blame, he should look a whole lot closer to home!
