A good start would be to present yourself better, thus:

  So very true! Just tired long day and probably should have waited to start this thread tomorrow. Sorry for that.

  Hehe, we're merciless here, aren't we? When I read that I thought, "how about $3 per article?"

  It's just dumb as a writer to promote yourself using bad grammar, terrible sentence structure and spelling mistakes. OK nobody is perfect 100% of the time, especially in a world where the English language is evolving, but if you can't write a single sentence asking for more work that doesn't read like a monkey at a typewriter bashed it out in seven seconds you are in the wrong business.
  
  And yeah I agree with you, I thought to myself if this post is a judge of the OP's writing skills, then he's lucky to be getting $4 per article
  
  Thanks

I apoligized for the poor sentence structure last night, but you are relentless. One mistake does not make a person a poor writer. It was poor judgement to start a new thread after the day I had but then again I thought I was on a friendly site. Do you think that you can lighten up today?

brteyes71,

Yeah, we can be a tough crowd at times, but don't let it get to you. Remember the old saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
