Kent,
Sig and Muleman are correct. My beef is definitely not with you or with what you did, but with the jerk at the DE State News who *thinks* (or someone up the food chain from her) they need to see this application before they'll run your news paper ad. Its none of their business to see anything more than MAYBE some identification and payment for said ad.
I don't think YOU were wrong, Kent as you did what you felt you was required of you to get your ad in. None of the other papers require such a ridiculous thing. I would have handled it differently, but thank God we aren't all the same. How boring would life be if we were.
before you jump to conclusions on here about what someone means in a post, please (everyone) keep in mind that all emotion and voice inflection, etc is removed when we're "chatting" via email or on a forum. Kent, I'll be the first one to jump in and help someone out, especially a new person. Hell, I am still asking question myself! We all learn something new everyday. Also, feel free to utilize the PM function on here to get clarification. I use it routinely... mostly to harass someone
I'm sorry if you took anything I wrote personally. It most certainly was not meant to be derogatory towards you or your actions.
And you bet your @@@ I have an ego. We all do. But my ego played no part in replying to your situation.
Moosie
