Posted By: MH In Response To: I don't know diddly about this business, but I have an opinion anyway.... (MaaMaw)

>THanks guys!!! I appreciate your thoughts. I just wanted to get opinions from the experts. I want to run with this but I just have to figure out what type of market I have. The only thing I ever see around here is the Entertainment Book. I love pets but I don't know if I would buy a pet card. I don't have any cats or dogs anyway. I have a gecko and 3 fish. I don't think a vet could help them. It would be nice if it was like that commercial where people are wearing a tee shirt that lists on it what they are looking to buy.
I guess if we knew that we would all be rich. It seems to me that the market is so big and people have so many different wants and needs it's hard to figure out what someone wants or needs. I don't think I have ever bought a coupon book for the same reason as Lesley. I would never remember where I put the darn thing or the offers expire before I get to use them.
But I do know people that buy discount programs on a regular basis. Anyway, cheers to the board!!!!!! Only a few weeks from Christmas, I hope Santa is good to all!!!

I never buy coupon books or "general" discount anything. Never

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
