Chris,

You have a delightful sense of humor. I truly have to print this out and put it on my wall. The next time I believe I have nothing left to say, I’ll re read this ten times.

Thanks for the morning smile….and congrats on your expansion into..what was it, the coat closet?

Audrey :)

Love this article and here is my addition to your list. I also plan like Audrey to print it out and hang in on my creation bulletin board.

11. I don’t have time and I don’t need the extra names on my list or the extra traffic to my website.

Have a great rest of your week.
Annie

Audrey,

No, it wasn’t a coat closet. :) It was originally a reception area for the previous tenant. We used it for a marketing staging area.

Soon it will become our Network Admin’s room and then eventually 2 more developers will join them.

What do our Network Admins do? They monitor the servers & network, security, and speed. Ultimately, they are responsible for maintaining 24×7 uptime. Their focus is on the ‘network’ layer whereas the developers focus on writing/testing/improving code.

All,

Thanks & credit goes to Kirk (Editor #15) in Member Support for coming up with the starting list that made up today’s Top 10 list.

That’s hilarious… let’s see, #9, 5 and 1 are my hang ups!

Well, that, and more time… I only have two hands, and I really need at least six.

Thanks for the laugh today!

Love and stuff,
Michy

Nice touch, Kirk & Chris!

Here’s my addition, that I hear from new students of mine ’til I set ’em straight….

12. But why would I want to give away my content for free? (spoken with a whine, of course!)

13. Not only did the cat knock over my EzineArticles mug spilling coffee on the keyboard making the “Enter” key stick, the mug then fell on the floor and broke! I can’t see through my tears and can’t possibly write without it.

Writing articles is just so twenty minutes ago marketing – I’ve heard of this new thing, I think they call it PPC, or is it product launch or adsense or a million other things that hit my inbox daily….

I would like to write about other subjects (for example nations of the world, unknown biographies, tourism…wonders of the world, unconvetional diplomacy), but I don’t have much time. I like write about “Olympics”. This year is special for me because…”Olympic Year”: “2008 Beijing Olympic Games! I have some projects…
I remembered that when I was a child I dreamed to become an “Olympic sportspeople”, but I could not realize my dream…
However, I will write on nations of the world, Fidel Castro, dictatorships, democracy, culture, ecology, entertainment, famous women, foreign politics, other sports…next months
Many thanks
Alejandro

“Me? Write articles? I’m not a writer.”

I don’t think they’ve heard,

“if you can talk you can write” and
“everyone is an expert to someone” and
“some people will only hear it through you”

I guess that makes it easier for me!

Thanks Chris for, raising a smile.

Alejandro,

I also mildly dreamed of being in the Olympics but having superior athletic talent wasn’t in the cards for me despite my commitment to fitness. I wanted to be a rock star too, but that didn’t work either. ;-)

Every Summer for the past 3 years I’ve been lucky to train at the US Olympic Training Center for a week during Racquetball camp. It’s as close as I’ll ever get to Olympic caliber athletes.

Cathy, I would have a hard time writing through the tears if my mug broke too… it’s my favorite coffee and tea mug, use it every day.

Chris, do you guys sell the mugs?

Hi, Chris,

I’ve read over your list several times now, trying to come up with #13, and each time I get to #8, I laugh out loud again!

Thanks for providing such a win-win situation for so many people.

I already have one article up, why wouldn’t that be enough?

Besides,

I can’t find anyone to teach me to write a proper article.

Michelle,

Sorry, not any more… keeps the perceived value of them higher if we don’t sell them. :)

Even if you can’t come up with a new article topic, still come up with an article. Your ideas are unique in comparison to everyone else. We shouldn’t let anything stop us! Good luck.

My homepage loads slow enough now with that ezine widget taking forever to load. Why would I want to add to its listing making things worse?

Great list. I loved #6. I hate free services that offer massive benefits and very little drawbacks. Funny stuff.
