Someone's time and money go into this site. And almost everybody in this thread says they would prefer a female voice...in some or all the circumstances that suit them.
In the meantime, think about a few mundane matters.
--The cost of bandwidth.
--Dollar value of the expertise needed to set up a site like this.
--Time, equaling money, to maintain the site.
--The goodwill to agree to make changes that users ask for.
--Functioning forums/journals, the quality of which Yahoo has never seen.
--Electricity bills.
--Personally purchased computer equipment, editing equipment.
--Time spent writing scripts.
--Years of experience in doing the vocalizations.
Beyond all of that, there's the self-restraint and tolerance. You see a great example of that, a few posts above this one.
Still, I have heard that there's a sexy-sounding hypnotesse whose quality has "improved" during the last two years. I know everyone will be happy to trust her with their name, address, and charge card number. Maybe she has the "Good Housekeeping Seal" branded on her butt. Maybe she mails in plain brown wrappers. Or maybe those of you who live at home can explain to your parents why you're getting a package from Dominatrix DeVonda.
If your credit card number is later used at Fifi's House of Relax in Manila, how can you complain...or explain? Let's see how it would go. "Well, officer, I guess they got the card number after I ordered a penis enlargement CD from a hypnotesse with a P.O. Box in Tijuana." :)
I'm all for "meager attempts" at hypnosis. First of all, they're not meager. Second, they're a damned sight better than meager attempts at thought, gratitude, and--all too often, lately--even self-control.

I am trying to figure out how to record a voice file, and might try recording one of your scripts for my personal use. If I manage to do that, I would be happy to offer my services to you if they are adequate or useful.
Many hugs for you EMG. And one day I just may send a pic!

P.S. Good gag sandy with the "Snorting "coffee" through one's nose?" trick. Good job getting loony28 on that one!
sandy82 wrote:GrimIronMan, I think you've referred to my "research" under more than one screen name. A good reason for a number of people to watch you closely. Especially when you pay the compliment almost three months later. Incidentally, I didn't do research on either post. I used memory and judgment and a book called a dictionary.
Here's another reason that you've drawn unwanted attention to yourself. loony28 is a good person. That comment about "coffee" was directed to a former member who abruptly left. All his posts were erased, reportedly at his request. He's the one who said that EMG made "meager attempts." Loony28 has never made such a statement about EMG and, I'm sure, never will.

I have never used a different account on this website other than "GrimIronMan". But I truly do respect the fact that unlike most, you put time and effort into your posts instead of just making them seem like one-word sentences. It is not something you see on every forum and it is nice to see a truly high-quality member.
As for the comment I made, it was about an expierence on another forum. The person pulled a joke by changing the subject to something that insulted whoever replied to their post by calling them a quote on quote "retarded moron". It brought back a memory of online friends I truly miss and wish I was still in contact with them all. I am still in contact with a few, but the other one's I wish I still could talk to. I was not at all intrested in insulting loony, it just brought back happy memories. Loony28, I also agree, is a good person and reading his posts are quite enjoyable. I also am not "GrimIronDan", for the future, unless you seem to think that the "other screen name" I seem to have is danmalara, which it's not. :wink: I also would like to say that my comments have never been aimed at the goal of insulting other members, nor will they ever be.

Enough of that, especially when one was erroneous and almost three months old. Please, no apologies either. (LOL, the last person to receive an apology received further slurs in the text of the apology.)
