I'm guessing that he's referring to a general lack of

I'm guessing he's not, because that would not be true.

Sorry you had such significant difficulty. Fortunately, your experience
is not the norm.

So I assumed - I did get paid for one article. I doubt BDN would still be
running years later if Borland wasn't paying most of it is bills :-).

Since that was so long ago, I might need another copy of the warranty
of originality if you would like to be paid for it, but I will ask Karen
to check.

The original subject line I had also added two cantaloupes and three
{*word*163}s. Maybe that helps.
Man, the other night I was flipping channels on the TV and came across The
Osbornes. The episode ended with Jack showing Kelly that he had discovered
"midget {*word*40}" on the internet.

If you send us the paperwork on these two will get them paid. Send to

Giles and cc myself.
I found the original paperwork, but something had spilled on it and I don't
think it will fax very well. I don't remember my BDN
username/emailaddress/password and so I can not download a new copy of the
agreement. Could you email it to me (XXXX@XXXXX.COM)?
Thanks,

Hmm. Perhaps the getpublished page asks you to log in so it can
automatically provide your list of articles to you. That was done so
long ago (by someone else) I am not fresh on what it requires.
