. . . A Word to Webmasters . . . ( Originality is Everything! )

If you like the stories or poems, a link is always appreciated
more than anything else. Web sites are rated on both content
and originality. Once the same content has been displayed on
a multitude of Web sites, "originality" no longer exists.
As flattering and satisfying as it is to know that my efforts
are appreciated, to see my work displayed on other Web sites,
with fraudulent claims to the site's content, or to find that
my work has been entered into contests or is being packaged and
sold with various products, or simply to see my work on other
sites, stating "Author Unknown", is not quite so satisfying.

Thanks for your time and understanding :-)

Donna
