There is something wrong going on... I am quite new here. I did all my worksheets myself and suddenly I caught myself thinking - what if somebody had a similar idea? What if someone will report me... I come from the country where we have suffered from cenzorsip, limited human rights and other forms of unjust treatment... I lost my naive adoration for this website... We join because we want to. We share our work. We try to support each other ... If somebody is a cheater do not download their worksheets but using words like "thief", "hate", "revange"... For God sake what are you taking about????

I totally understand what you are referring to Dusia. Sometimes things are taken to extremes and all semblance of "politeness or dignity" are gone. I have often thought the same thing about my new worksheets too. There is always a "what if..." at the back of my mind. What if the idea was already used somewhere? What if the questions of a reading activity coincide, by chance, with someone else �s out there on the Net? ... there are so many "what ifs" lately... that I really think twice about contributing now. I used to put up stuff I used in class but now, I am more hesitant to do so.

Even though you are innocent you start to have doubts... Still it is the most useful and interesting website for teacher I have seen... Let �s just have it over! Cheer up and keep up the good job! Which reminds me that I do not create any new worksheets any more , instead I got addicted to this forum... I must look for some cure...
