Hello! I appreciate your kind words, and ways... But these quitting posts have to stop, so I agree. However this is one of them

I was going to say, the New's Reporters should be a little more caring with their work. The reports are still good, but they could have some upgrades. My posts recently, have a lot of this. I've been trying to make them exciting. Maybe i'll be a News Reporter some day!

Best of luck, WaterWing!
