I've learnt here; far more than simply gathering information. It's more like having a room full of experts next door and when you have some esoteric question that needs answering, you crack the door open, kick aside the diet coke cans and discarded pizza boxes, and say, "Hey what do you guys think about this ..." Sometimes its the guys sitting quietly in front nearest the door who give a quick, quiet answer and the door closes. Others, a ripple of a murmur runs through the room and turns into an excited babble.
I wonder if any of the large mainstream publishers lurk. If you're here, don't be shy, "Say hello. Yes we are paying attention and not asleep at the wheel. The train is still on the tracks and we do see the wall."
So, to the creators, mods and all fellow MR'ers  |
Nice observation on the environment here. It's quite a diverse group, dare I say we are an "eclectic" people here on MR? hehehehe...everyone from different background, some not adept at converting tech speak to laymen speak but it all gets hammered out eventually, even if it takes real hammers.
I too hold hope that publishers do lurk and read all they can here. Having visited a lot of other English language boards I have to say here is the place to be. I like the people on other boards for sure, but if I want to ask questions or read about something to better understand this is the place.
Frankly I am surprised people put up with me on my more cranky days...but it's all in fun. BTW, I wanted to add I have enjoyed your posts since your arrival here.
OK, that all has to be the extra pain meds I needed "tonight" so ignore anything that could construed as a combayah (kumbaya pick your fav spelling) moment!! hahaha...
