It's the "newsfeeds" that are a mess -- an absolute, total mess.
I'm not sure how to tell you to find them.
One place they look especially horrible this morning (it seems to come and go) is at Bloglines. If you go to bloglines.com and type in
http://friendsinbusiness.blogspot.com
you will see the "feed" I think. (Or maybe you have to subscribe, I'm not sure.)
Right now, the "Ebay Success Story" shows,
"I absolutely hate Ebay. Here's the story."
Welllll.... there's a lot to be said in between, but to anybody looking, it seems to be nothing but a rant about why I hate 'em.
The next one, "Find Link Partners," is the whole entry -- minus any formatting or clickable links (i.e., worthless again).
The next one, "How To Protect Your PDF...," and the ones after that, are perfect -- the whole post (although it's only supposed to display a couple of lines), with formatting and clickable links.
On Sharpreader (a free program for reading "feeds") it's the same mess. I kept Sharpreader because the other day when I was using it, everything was nicely formatted and clickable.
I think to a normal person this might not be a concern. They might not even notice (because they're "moving in a positive direction" in stead of checking this and checking that and checking this again).
I like things right, and when my stuff gets out there looking like crap, it makes me crazy (crazier?). (Hey, I heard that!!)
Quick, somebody SMACK ME (or explain what's going on and make me feel better) (or feed me a chocolate, that usually helps -- one of those bordeaux chocolates from See's, with the sprinkles please).
Luv,
MaaMaw

| 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!!). |
