Hi Pete,
A week? About a week ago I visited the forum. MaaMaw must have been playing with some of the scripting because I wasn't able to load it either. I checked it again at the end of the day and it loaded fine. The point is... some service providers (mostly dial-up providers) use proxy servers which works similar to a computer cache to store frequently requested pages. If the page loaded from a proxy or your computer loaded it from its cache rather then retrieving a fresh copy... it is possible that the error would seem to appear a few times.
You need to understand that I'm only guessing. I loaded this site in IE last night, but nothing I could do would duplicate the error, so it is hard to tell what the exact cause could have been.
I wrote to the lady MaaMaw was seeking help for and asked her to check the site again by turning off some of her security software to see if that would make a difference. If it didn't, then I suggested a couple of Microsoft links to her.
On the Microsoft website there is a community forum for Internet Explorer users where you can get help and the homepage for IE should a fresh install be in order. Sometimes this has the effect of setting whatever has been done to your browser back to it's default settings. This has worked a couple of times in the past for me.
The last time...
I don't use IE very much. Mostly to just check web pages I am building for clients. But a fellow I took in last year for a few months, used it quite a bit on my computer. One day I went to fire it up and I was getting illegal operation errors. Upon further investigating I discovered three tool-bars that seemed to be fighting for the dominant browser position, so I removed them from my system and re-installed IE and I haven't had any problems since.
Best Regards,
Steve MacLellan

| 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 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!!). |
