Re: Can anyone help save Hardware Pub?
I suppose if I really wanted, I could point out errors in just your one post, but I really don't want to get into that. Managing any web site is difficult; I'll get that out there right now. At HWP we're definitely not just sitting around trying to rake in the big dollars.
Secondly, our site has been in existence for about two years now, and we're constantly working on improving our standing in the Internet community. Granted, we surely have our share of grammatical and/or spelling errors, but I defy you to find a site of equal or greater size as HardwarePub without problems.
I would also like to question your intentions in your post. "Your awful grammar, spelling, writing structure, and read flow disgusts me" can't be interpreted in any way much other than intending insult, which you denied in your post, saying, "I'm not trying to be mean, or insulting."
I also believe you are being a little quick to point the finger at my site for your loss of money. I'll be quite candid and tell you that I'm definitely not taking any of your money, or anyone else's for that matter.
In response to your comment "There are simply too many of these kind of sites bloating up the fabric of the internet, and destroying business for many hard working people," I would like to ask you first, what makes these other people that I'm apparently destroying business for more worthy than myself, and secondly, when did you observe my work ethic, to categorize me as not hard working? According to your comment I surely can't be hard working, since then I would be destroying my own business.
Additionally, shouldn't you be happy if I have terrible grammar, spelling, and flow? As you pointed out, "It's a circle that goes around and around." You begin your post by giving reasons why we shouldn't exist, yet conclude your post by encouraging us, saying "I'd love to see great work from ya'll in the future!"
If you figure out which you want, get back to me, but also, not until you can show me this site you keep saying we should be like, without error, perfect grammar and spelling, excellent flow, and only reviewing the products that you consider important. Like Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" (or something like that).
