Red5 & Tdol  | Hi!
It` a very good idea to which I fully subscribe.
I had a very unpleasant surprise when a newbie contacted me on e-mail several times asking for help. It was something related to other problems [transfer of money - etc, etc.] which had nothing to do with this site dedicated to those who want to improve their knowledge of English. I told her I could not be of any help -it was something illegal and I have never had any problems with legal authorities in my country. Finally , she understood but not before warning her about what I was going to do if she would insist on that. I hope you understand what I have been trying to tell you.
Otherwise, everything is ok and I have always enjoyed being here with you.
If I have any ideas I will surely share to you.
All the best, |

| | Re: Help with the forum Thank you very much for your help, tdol. I hope I can manage but, if it happens again , I`ll surely ask you for help. The problem is that some newbies do not register themselves on the forum . I`ll be more careful about that in the future.
Anyway, thanks again.
As far as I am concerned I find this site of great help. It`s wonderful ! I like it very much because every time I post a question ,the replies come very quickly and , moreover, the answers are posted by professionals who know what they talk about and have a very good knowledge of English language.
Although I admit I have been searching the web for some other ESL forums, I have not found another [one] like this one, yet
You have all the reasons to be proud of your work.
Congratulations! |
