Darn.. I had something good written out, but the stupid server logged me off... eh, I'll see if I can re-create it.
@Red_K741 I feel you but I think with the internet you should have comfort in anonymity so you don't have to trust. You don't know them and they don't know you, but you both share the same interest in PokeSpe. This is a good enough reason to get involved in this discussion and input your views as most people will share their own and help create a happy place. This place in particular is about Pokemon and only Pokemon, there is no need to share personal information to people because to be frank no one really cares that much. So is there a need to trust? Life is far too short so enjoy it while you can. This isn't a bash at you, we just want to know your opinions about the headed topics.
My bad... I didn't mean to insinuate that I distrusted people... I suppose what was meant to be sent across was that if I feel that what I have to say lacks importance, I don't say it. Consequently, when I do say something, it is often obnoxiously long, but at least we may take comfort in that I probably thought everything out.
Moving back to topic...
Ryan/Wallace:
I understand that there is great stress involved with the process of translating and scanning. When it seems that there are others who can do things quickly and much better than you, motivation decreases sharply, to the point at which there seems to be little purpose in continuing. So, if you feel that the work is not worth the returns, then do as you will.
However, about a third of the posts for the past few months all demonstrate the same thing: gratitude. If I could touch the lives of that many people, I think that I would sit down and write a book on how to live a successful life. In my experience, if I have touched the heart of but one in all that i have done... then perhaps my life has not been in vain, for what effects one effects (darn, can't remember which one to use) all who surround him (Is that from a book?).
Fine. Perhaps you aren't the poetic type. Perhaps cheesy stuff like that actually makes you angry and want to send my head, wrapped in spinach, to the next galaxy. But at least take comfort in knowing that. And perhaps reading a comic isn't going to end hunger or make a better mousetrap. But, at least someone's day has been made better.
