Yeah, I think Trifthen was just trying to be nice. But I'm sure I or one of the other programmers for the site will be able to do it.

It just takes a little time because we generally save a local copy of the entire page on our servers. I might be able to get to it today.

Ryu: DDR isn't exactly dancing, but why would you get so angry if someone calls you a dancer? I know some people who use "dance" as a verb to mean "to play DDR"--since,y'know, the game is called DANCE DANCE Revolution. How was the article not professional? It clearly states that you follow the arrows on the screen. I think that's sufficient enough to "explain what the arrows mean." What else do you do with the arrows?

Hey Guys and Gals,
I am the "freelance writer." It's really great to see that many of you enjoyed it--and thanks to Jr. Asparagus for sharing this topic link with me. Just wanted you to know that I'm not unconcerned with feedback and its great to hear all your points positive and negative.

For those who were disappointed in any aspects--I'll just say that in my (admittedly limited) experience, DDR fanatics have a culture all their own which is somewhat difficult to explain to the general casual newspaper reader. So I had to keep it somewhat light and understandable for those who the article was directed at--the people who may not have even realized the game existed. I made note of your comments though, and i will take them into consideration for future articles.

But thanks again for ALL comments--you guys have been extremely helpful and an opening and extremely polite group--esp. the folks at ddrfreak.com and those, like Gino, who i interviewed at Liberty Tree.
