considering that your 100% in this matter, I dont c anything wrong
with this email. But you must remember one thing. your always going to
encounter a few "A-Holes" who u will NEVER appease no matter how civil
& polite you are. Hopefully, he wont be one of them.
> Hey folks-
> Just sent a civil letter to the individual who created the polls.
> I'm hoping the situation can be resolved peacefully, because I can
> be the mother of all sons-of-bitches if riled enough. Below is the
> letter I sent to the member. Apologies to those who had no desire
> to see any of this stuff in their inboxes.

> Hey there!
> Just thought I'd drop a note to you to try to explain the current
> situation. I prefer civility to harsh actions, but when I get a
> bunch of e-mails from group members alerting me to a potential
> problem, I must respond accordingly.
> I appreciate your eagerness within the group, and your attempts to
> upload scans of my work, but there are certain rules of protocol
> which the group (myself included) must follow.
> Fan-art of Skunkworks stuff is always okay to upload, and I
> strongly encourage members to post their renditions of whichever
> character strikes their fancy. However, posting existing samples of
> my work is somewhat unnecessary. I prefer to use the group to post
> new stuff, or stuff which is in various stages of production. This
> way, folks can see things which they normally would not (if they
> were not a group member).
> I have had no choice but to change the accessibility options for
> creating polls, as it has been misused in the past (but I was
> reluctant to take such steps). I may also modify the folder you
> created in the files section of the group as well, but will await
> the responses of others before making that decision.
> I want you to understand that this is not a malevolent action, nor
> is it any attempt to push group members away. As I stated before, I
> appreciate your eagerness, but some of your actions borderline on
> what is/is not permitted in the group. It's important to remember
> that there are many members whose inboxes get every message posted
> to the group; I try to keep these members in mind when posting my
> own messages, since (if I were one of them) I wouldn't want an
> overflowing inbox either. The group has many interesting features
> available, but it is essential to avoid misusing them (as in the
> Polls example).
> In closing, I hope you will understand the message behind this e-
> mail, and will not misinterpret the notice to be mean or insulting;
> it is not meant to be either. I hope you will not act rashly after
> reading this correspondence, since I try to do what I can to keep
> the group active and entertaining, and I'd like as many people as
> possible to enjoy the group. If you should decide to leave the
> group, then that is your own decision, but I have no desire to be
> the reason for anyone's departure. I hope you will decide to stay
> along for the ride.
> If you have any questions about what is permitted in the group,
> you can post questions in either the Message section, or in
> the "Questions for Jim" folder in the Files section.

> Sincerely,
