here's the guidelines for using the Board. You probably went right by them in getting here. Might have made sense to read them.
The short of it is: You're off topic. Kevin provides this board, and pays for it. His rules say that off topic stuff like yours goes to the other board. This board is for questions to Kevin and other View Askew staff. That's really all there is to it.
I don't really like to tell people they're off topic, but when you're not only wrong but make fun of other people for setting you straight, you're asking for it.

The View Askew WWWBoard
Welcome to the View Askew WWWBoard. This board has been provided for you to post questons to Writer/Director Kevin Smith. Yes, it's true, Kevin Smith himself visits this board from time to time to answer questions. Kevin will also post updates and informaton on whatever he's working on at the moment, usually far before the press gets wind of it.
Kevin usually answers questions based on the intelligence level and the innovativeness of the post. So let that be an early warning to you. Here are a few others things to take note of:
You must REGISTER to post on this board. This is done mainly to prevent spam and off-topic posts. If you wish to register, please do so here.
Kevin's posts will show up in RED (as will the posts of any other Official View Askew cast/crew member/employees). It will look something like this: Kevin
We have a website called the View Askew WWWBoard Summaries which was set up to prevent repeat posts. Please read these before posting or risk annoying thousands of posters.
Please do not ask for A JOB. Please do not ASK TO BE IN A MOVIE. Do you really think that we would offer you a job or a part in a feature film based on a post on a WWWBoard?
We have an "off-topic" board set up if you would like to chat with other View Askew Fans about off-topic/on-topic subjects that are not specifically addressed to Kevin. If you would like to participate, please visit that board here.
: I'm starting a new topic. Bravely trailblazing. Taking the road less travelled. You wisely noticed this departure. Good for you - a pity you have no contribution. I like your use of punctuation, though!!!!
