David, are you aware that Jennifer Helen is spamming members? See my page, if you're not aware of it yet. While it might be related to writing, I find it quite tacky to think that she would bypass you altogether and just randomly find people to pounce on. I'm far more impressed with Dana Zilberbush's post that establishes your awareness of her site and what she's intending to do here.
