In Response To: And thanks for the blog... (MaaMaw)

Thanks for the kind words MaaMaw - I greatly appreciate it!

I'm very flattered to be mentioned in your blog. I know you have a large following, and I'm just a guy picking the low lying fruit of the internet, hoping that maybe I can show a few other people out there how to do the same.

If I had something that scoured the internet for my name, I'd be flooded - too many Mike Long's out there. Besides, I'm nowhere near that vain. ;-)

I've tried to keep a very low profile in the internet marketing arena, because it has a way of leaving you open for abuse. It's much easier to just quietly go about building my sites.

Unfortunately, I also have this painful, burning, itchy, scratchy need to help people. ;-)

That's why I finally decided to put a blog together that gives an overview of what I do.


Where was I? (That darn ADD again!)


Let's see. If I remember it right, your site was one of the first ones I found when I started researching internet marketing in late '99/early 2000. I visited this board regularly, mostly as a lurker, but would post from time to time.

You also helped me with a sales letter from a resume site I worked on a few years ago.

I hadn't been here in quite some time, but I saw you post over at Phil Wiley's board a few weeks back, and you left a link to your blog at that forum.

I followed it, read it, and then did this...

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email. It's a fantastic email program, but even better, it allows you to "subscribe" to RSS feeds.

All I had to do was enter the address of your weblog, add "/atom.xml" (since it's a Blogger-based site) to the end of the site address, and...voila! Every time you update your blog, it posts to Thunderbird just like a new email notification would.

Thunderbird is a great email program, and it rivals the better RSS readers that I've seen. The best thing is that both capabilities are included in one program.

You can get it for free here:

And if you decide to use it, and need help getting it set up, just let me know.

Thanks!
~Mike

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        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.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  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.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        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!!).
