Buzzflash pisses me off! Gave someone else's URL for my work!

[Angry Girl]

Thanks a lot, Buzzflash!

I wrote the article "Voting Fraud in the USA: A Tale of Two Brothers
http://nightweed.com/3_november_2004.html

I wrote to Buzzflash when I wrote it. They ignored me. Since then I wrote to them several other times, trying to contribute letters and other Angry Girl vote fraud stuff. They ignored me each time and not ONCE did they print anything of mine, not even in the frickin' mailbag!

Today I go to their page and they have the headline
"Voting Fraud in the U.S.A.: A Tale of Two Brothers 12/2"
But it goes to someone else's web page, with my credit aaaaall the way at the bottom.....
http://memes.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3667&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

I want the info circulated but I feel like Buzzflash treated me like crap. I'm sure I'll get over it but I have feelings too.

:mad:

1. i tryed to submit art to them& never heard back

maybe they are just having problems,went there all the time before i knew about this site.

2. me too

I went there all the time too. For over a year at least, most every day. They've not written to me once. But I didn't expect them to until this past month....

DU, on the other hand, rocks! I can't remember how I found DU but it was only about a month or so ago.

3. ah, they changed it....

See, squeaking loudly does help! :-)

5. They're great guys, really

Buzzflash has a small crew, but they're the nicest people in the world. One of the main guys there just had a baby, and they get so many emails they don't respond a whole lot. But they do their best to make good when they get a URL wrong.

BTW, saw your story - that got forwarded to me from someone else today, from a list, and really enjoyed it. Thanks for that! :)

7. oh, i know.... I read them daily

and I also get childish and cranky when kicking sugar and when I'm tired and when I read about Bush's ludicrous policies and when....

oh, never mind! :_)

4. For what it's worth....there are new babies in the area and

a bit of a rearranging of some of the posting....they do an awful lot without a huge staff....

6. Buzzflash is the reason I am here at DU now.

In 2001 I came across "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" and became a daily DU lurker for over 2 1/2 years. I learned a LOT by reading news via Buzzfash, but I discovered I could learn new news even faster here AND read debates about the news in question... my learning curve jumped thanks to brilliant DUers who post here. Plus, folks post news from newspapers here all the time that require registration - I refuse to register with commercial newspapers.

Sorry you are having problems at Buzzflash. I hardly ever go there now so I don't know what it's like there, but still recommend them to Americans who've just awakened. When some get back to me and appear to be turned on, I direct them to the DU forums and the website in general.
