After all, their success could be the result of tips or advice given somewhere on this site.
If you've been so successful at having material accepted for broadcast, why not actually share some advice with the rest of us rather than quietly logging on here everyday and ripping off people's ideas in your writing which is what I suspect you do.
This is my first ever post, and I didn't want it to be a 'rant' but to me you've missed the whole point of this forum - you'd be better off logging on here... www.schadenfreudegits.de
Who the f**k are you? 'Ripping off ideas' - wind your neck in, you cheese merchant.
The fact is - if someone says 'I've got this great lead' or whatever and has managed to get their work read. Is that person really going to go 'Here's the guy's email address - why don't you all send him stuff too'.
Never going to happen. As it was Sam (who's obviously done well) followed the normal channels, and proves unknown writers can get somewhere without competitions or sketch shows.
