    I was taught that either was acceptable as long as you're consistent. I've always prefered yea and have no plans on changing. to me yeah looks like something a cowboy with a speech impediment would say.

    I don't see what the problem with joining the site would be. If someone is too lame to get a hotmail account and sign up, I doubt that their prose is going to be all that hot. There's a reason why you hardly ever see Open posting on the internet anymore: it invites abuse and can cause serious liability problems for a site.

    :geek:  :cat:

    It's not a question of lameness. Younger people , new to the web, have heard all the horror stories and security warnings for kids on-line. They're concerned, and rightly so, about their security. There is also the problem of a younger writer, who happens to be gay, having to try to hide his activity on the web from parents, who don't know he's gay, on a family computer.

    Being wary of identifing themselves on line doesn't mean they can't write. On the contrary, if they're young and interested in learning to write, there's a good chance that they have some talent and could use some help developing it or they wouldn't be reading that forum anyway.

    BTW colinian, welcome to AD. Where can I find some of your writing? I'd be interested in seeing it.

    a) Start with open access, and if it becomes a problem, drop access to only members

    I pick the above, not that you appointed me Dictator For Life.

    I like this one too but worry that, if it's not heavily moderated, we're leaving open a place homophobes and other bigots can attack us and have their post read until a mod catches it and deletes it.

    Dancing With Mariah

    by Codey

    Swinging and swaying, in graceful dance.

    Random movement, as if by chance.

    Waving to angels as clouds fly by,

    whispering wisdom in barely a sigh.

    Roaring in anger at things unjust,

    obscuring vision with clouds of dust.

    Caressing bare skin, pale and ashen,

    then moving on, feeling no passion.

    Moving unseen in darkness or light,

    illusive and hidden as a woodland sprite.

    Surrounding all but seen by none,

    the proof of your passing is what you have done.

    Sometimes harsh, cold, unforgiving,

    other times warm, comforting the living.

    All this encompassed in cosmic blend

    are things that I see, when watching the wind.

    Hangin

    by Codey

    Sittin out in the back yard,

    under the trees,

    just hangin out

    enjoyin the breeze.

    Laffin and jokin,

    livin lives with no clue,

    but anyway plannin

    the things we might do.

    Watchin fireflies flicker,

    all's peaceful and right,

    just hangin with friends

    on a warm summer night.
