Now is that salary pre or post tax?

initially i thought 'not again'. but you know what, screw it. one last try to make it a little more entertaining, even if only for those poor vr-ers that copy it up each day.

No no what i think One Winged Angel means is place your name here if you want to help Zine out by writing letters

Stand and Deliver!!

 
I wish you all the luck in the world, i really do. But i think Teletext only seems to care about the money text messaging brings.
A great shame. But good luck anyway.

Hmmm... I don't think it's possible to reclaim it now, without a big ranty email to WLW from all of us. Or is that what we're planning?

I'm scared that VR'll still be assosciated with 'Zine, and the idiots on there will want to come here...

Pretty sure the idea is to start writing again...

Stand and Deliver!!

 
The last few letters i sent have been texts, though did get one e-mail through, last week.
I think they will accept e-mails, but not for much longer. Or it will only be one or two a-day at most.

Is the avatar upload thing broken?

 
I shall add my name..
It's Hurri if you hadn't guessed.

I think we should make a draft email, and then each one of us can customise it as we see fit, put our name to it and send it. But they'll all have the same central theme about sorting Zine out...

I sent an e-mail to WLW again...

WLW replied! -
"Thanks for your email. Emails are showing and you should be able to see
them now!
We apologise for this; there was indeed a technical fault.
WLW is and will be responding to emails now. So there is no need for you
to be worried, old ziners are not being excluded!
Best wishes,
WLW"

Yay!



It hurts too much not to try.
I will see you in another life when we are both cats.

You're going to try writing a letter to WLW now too, aren't you?

I love the way they say WLW is now answering them again. Whoever sent you it, is blatantly WLW! Surely??

Fear The FAT GERBIL!!!

 
I had a personal reply from WLW ages ago, shortly after I said I was leaving. It was written in wingdings and had a big teletext disclaimer underneath it.
Damn. I want a collar like in Battle Royale, but they all cost too much.

And they don't even explode. What a rip-off.

Yes, to be fair, every generation of WLWs has sent out the occasional personal message.

Yes, my website still exists. Just about.

I think that any letter that gets rejected should get a personal reply detailling why. They'd probably be funnier than the responses on Teletext.
