Mr Hodgson,

The title of my thread is "survival guide". It is meant to tip off newbies on common mistakes. I intent to elaborate my advices in the future, but I only devote to this in my spare time, so the progress is slow.

None of my tips were meant to limit one's freedom of speech. But the simple fact is, certain actions lead to certain consequences. Posting some of the topic that I mentioned in my guide will lead to unnecessary unpleasantness.

Free advice are just that. Free advice. Your perception of my intention was wrong. I'm not againt newbies. I like newbies. I'm on newbies' side and thus I made this guide to help them, to pass on what I learned.

Welcome to Mayhem.

Someone isn't giving me my prints or a cd of them after we had an arrangement (TFCD) what should I do ? I've asked him several times for them and he says that he never gives out all the prints on a cd, but that was our arrangement! Will someone message me and give me suggestions of what I should do? I was there for almost 3 hours with him!! sad Thanks!!

Wow, this actually helped me a lot. I was wondering what TFP and TFCD meant.. Thank you. Hopefully I'll get into the groove of things.. Also.. I know this sounds quite ridiculous, but, what are threads necessarily? I'm sorry if someone else already posted what they were, but there were so many posts, I skimmed many of them.. I'm sorry!

I would love to call you and talk about all this but I am at work right now. Could I call you around 3:30pm? That would be better anyway; I need some time for my adrenaline rush to subside. wink
