I accept I made a misjudgement but it was unintentional. <BR/><BR/>If they had emailed me and said; "We will use this and want to use it exclusively but it is in a queue and might take over 2 months before we do."<BR/><BR/>I probably would have said 'forget it'. I'm not au fait with the etiquette of the media world. When I've written something, I'm eager to put it out there. I didn't realise putting it on my blog would be such a problem. And besides when they didn't reply I thought they weren't going to use it.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14115431.post-1133630993299274522005-12-03T17:29:00.000+00:002005-12-03T17:29:00.000+00:00"Nowhere does it say that it can't be already on y...<I>"Nowhere does it say that it can't be already on your blog.

Open to anyone, blogger, commenter, whatever. Even journalists.<BR/>2. 300 words maximum.<BR/>3. Any subject at all, as long as you have an opinion. Not that there’s a shortage of those here usually… We won’t censor it, beyond the usual caveats.<BR/>4. Links or quotes are fine, as long as they’re just to illustrate your point, not to make it for you."<BR/><BR/>Nowhere does it say that it can't be already on your blog. I should havee assumed this I know. But it wasn't my intention to put it on my blog, it was just I hadn't heard from them so assumed they wern't going to use it.Neil Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333739272733802133noreply@blogger.com
