@W1zzard I'm tempted, but I'm not sure how much time I could give to this at the moment. Could I write as much or as little as I wanted, or is a certain output expected?
Does that clarify it for you now?

Good luck to everyone!
I look forward to whomever joins the team of ace people.
Anyway, how much time would this take?
Ps the Answer i expect is
As long as it takes to do a decent job no half ass efforts are good enough for TPU
Ps if i have offended your feelings
you can put me on ignore like you boast quite a few members are
I'll Still Read your Posts and maybe Articles if your lucky enough to get the gig
Hope everything is fine
Ok, a bit off topic, but since I got my Kindle Voyage a year ago, I've got back to reading novels (mainly Sci-Fi and crime) and the amount of typos that I see there make me cringe. A lot of them will annoy me greatly and spoil the flow of the story, so I'll downrate a book a star or two for them.
I've noticed that the offenders tend to be mainly newer authors, while the established masters such as Asimov have none or almost none - and they didn't even have the benefit of modern computer technology to make finding them so easy. Just means that those modern authors are just sloppy, even if it's a good story.
but as a non native english speaker or writer, need more time to learn and reach that excellent level..
btw, on opera mini, the news list and other things was gone after this news...
are tpu.com in maintanance process or take a break?
