  @mdw

  In the post you submitted (http://letstalkbitcoin.com/dashboard/blog-post/edit/484), you use the phrase "Main Street" several times throughout. Do you mean to say "mainstream"? Per Merriam-Webster:

  mainstream: having, reflecting, or being compatible with the prevailing attitudes and values of a society or group

  Main Street (adj.): of or relating to the mediocre, materialistic, or drab aspects of average U.S. town and city life

  Please clarify.

  Thank you. Cheryl

  I don't remember the article offhand, but he's probably referring to this: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mainstreet.asp

  @bcohen, let's use posts with @notify or email until then.

  @rotalumis Thank you for clearing that up. I was not aware of that usage. Perhaps the general reader won't be either? In any case, I'm glad to know of Investopedia for use as a resource in the future.

  @ItsAboutSharing, unfortunately, your submission (#489) does not meet the quality standards of the LTB network due to its vague, speculative, accusatory, and unclear nature. The post has been scheduled for deletion which will occur on July 31st, so make sure to copy your article if you would like to retain it.

  @pairmike, I'm the original editor assigned to your post (#482), and was wondering whether you are still interested in publishing the piece. @rotalumis (I believe) and I found your description on the history of ProtoShares worthwhile and complete. However, the descriptions of upcoming projects are incomplete. Insufficient details are provided as to what stage the products are in and how they operate. I am okay with you changing the projects to a bulleted list, so the layout doesn't give the impression that you are attempting to detail each project. Try to avoid speculative or vague project descriptions as well. I made some copyedits so please proceed with the article version in the content pane.

  @rotalumis The article is to be a companion piece for Daniel's interview with Adam. Based on the forum comments to that interview, this article provides value to those listeners who would like have a recap of ProtoShares. Thanks for the feedback.

  @rotalumis @Pairmike

  You've set your article to "Ready for Publishing" but it's rather short with the bottom part more or less in point form. You start off well, but seem to have left it half way through, when you have lots of scope to give the reader more value and info, particularly as regards the projects you listed.

  Apart from quality issues, it wouldn't be fair on the other writers or even on the readers to publish something like this. I've set it back to draft. Please make sure articles are complete and ready before marking them as such.

  How about linking readers to the definition? ;)

  @cherapple thanks for noticing - I should probaby try to not repeat words as much. Yes, as @rotalumis said I meant to refer to the average Joe, not the VCs or others mentioned. Seems I used mainstream only once, and probably could have worked it in again. I think you're right though, in some parts it could have been reworded to say mainstream - as in what it looks like to my Mom. Use your best judgement :)
