lol, after reading this thread tonight I was quite aware of the return key too.

Were Tex's lfp's edited or removed? I didn't see anything all that bad in them. Should we as lfpers edit what we post and to what extent? I'm pretty much a write-it-as-I-hear-it person, but with this crew, ugh!

Wow...as much as I would like to help I have to admit I tried and failed so my talents must lie elsewhere. (lost is really a good name for me don't ya think?) I knew it took a special talent not just to keep up with the convos but to do so in a readable manner. I gave it a shot but was not happy with my results and if I try it again I will definitely try to find one of those more boring moments. (Maybe someone doing laundry.) :)

I said this before in the Thanks thread but will say it again. Not just anyone can do this and my hats off to those of you who can. You're great! Having live feeds does not keep me from wanting to read your postings and this is my 3rd year here so I will instead send Ryn my $5.00 so he can keep this board going!

I did the feed one morning and typed it as I saw it and didn't put my opinion as to what was going on while posting it..

Then my opinion was asked afterwards.. I took it to be how I "saw it" and the general "tone" of the convo..

What happened??? A # of others took it another way by their viewing it.. Made me look like an idiot..

The tv episode showed a minute of what I posted about. They portrayed the scene the way I saw it.

I really don't need to get slammed for trying to help.. It's not fair.. Seems as if anything I post in here (even in the general discussions), I'm getting flamed, and that my "opinions" or observations are of lesser value than anyone else's.

Sometimes, if one is the only LFPer, for example, late at night, last year, one tries hard to get everything down, and post in a possible lull, so that one can get right back to it, and not miss anything important.
It's VERY hard if one is a two-finger typist, and going like the clappers, to remember to hit enter.
After being 'reminded' more than once, I would miss stuff so that I could edit and break up my text by hitting enter every so often.
I also ended up with the usual result for a non-typist, getting severe shoulder/neck pain, and carpal tunnel pain.
Being somewhat deaf also hampered my ability to hear especially when the whole group is talking together at the same time.
Since I'm also used to writing papers/essays and thus writing in paragraphs, not lists, I STILL tend not to use enter, except when I change the subject in a post, although if I remember, I will go back and do some entering before I post the message.
This year I'm not paying for the feeds, and although I've just been given a 28 day extension on my free 14 days, I've only watched them a half a dozen times so far, and got FOTH so often I pretty much give up.
For all these reasons, plus the fact that I don't care much what happens to the current crop of HG's, and also that I have a lot more to do at home, I'm not helping out with the LFPs this year.

But, also for all the above reasons, I'm in awe of and admire those who do Live Feed posts, and they all have my deepest gratitude, and sympathy.
Some of us just aren't cut out for it....

I took the plunge last night and it feels really good to try to help. I'll continue doing it- but it's HARD! Typing away and trying to stay completely true to every word while keeping an ear on what continues to happen. So forgive me in advance I know it's more halp than not! I have a total appreciation now for all the LFP!

I so wanted to pull my weight around here that I did a few LFP's last summer on my clunky old puter, they weren't good and I only did it when no one else was posting.

This year, it is completely impossible. My clunky old puter is yet another year older and fuller.

Everytime I bring up real player, even tho I've shut down every other thing, I get an illegal operation within 5-10 minutes.

It is completely impossible to bring up RP and BBFC (explorer) at the same time. Puter goes into immediate cardiac arrest.

So, I just want to thank all of you who do the LFP's. For me, typos and spelling problems just don't mean a thing. Your work is so appreciated.
