    A great interview. As a directory owner, I have learned something.

    thought his views were quite weak and had little evidence to back them up. thanks for sharing choice.

    I would have to agree from what I read. I had to stop about halfway through the post as the spelling/grammar errors every few words were driving me nuts.

    I understand, I will give it another shot. It is probably more of a me issue as I have a couple things that are really trying my patience the last couple days.

    Its a lot nicer not to point out some mistakes when most of us can see when a persons first language is not english.

    Im english and living in england and enough years behind me to grasp the language but i still struggle with things, i always use "your" but from here to youtube im always corrected when people feel like being awkward.

    Your, you're, it doesn't matter, if you know what the person is saying then thats all that matters.

    Well I've read the interview and in my opinion it's very weak. I for one, havent learned anything new. I only learned that he started his directory to provide free links to other webmasters ( DOH! ) and that he only submits his websites to free directories... well that's a breaking news right there.

    choice : why have you interviewed the daredirectory's webmaster?

    All the best,


    SW

    Its an interview though, i think its more to give an insight of the owner and a chance for them to answer a few questions, not for them to teach the reader anything.

    I think its fine, how can you know how anyone will answer? interviews should not only be for the more known owners either, their straight forward answers without all the filler.

    Well, I want to read interviewes with people that I can learn something from. Reading interviews with people that really dont offer any new information is a waste of time.

    You may want to vary your replies to each thread you post on.

    I am from Romania as well as w3bmaster, I honestly affirm that I might do mistakes on DigitalPoint posts, mail messages, but never on an interview.

    Bottom point, I wish everyone a great winter holiday, good initiative.
