Re: To answer your question...

Greetings Bob from sunny but colder Texas,

I have been off the internet for a couple of days trying to go wireless but it just is not going to work out for a while so I am stuck with dial up for a while.

There are a lot of reasons why folks respond but I don't get particularly excited one way or the other over it.

My site is almost ready to go another week or so--but I will more than likely recruit most of my folks off line--that works better for me andthe site is just a place for them to go to sign up.

I have no clue where everyone has been but this is an exploding market--and will be offering a sample newsletter.

While the site does not reflect it yet--at least 30-50% of the material given to look at comes out of the traditional mainstream. And out of that, almost half will be in support of the non tradional methods of treating and working with heart disease by doctors and researchers.

So, I am not real excited about templates or designs but I do thank you for the encouragement to use such.

Nor do I get excited when folks don't agree with me over the site content or over design. I just take it all it and then use what I feel helps me achieve my goal.

Both Leslie and Dale have pointed out the "one side" each see of the war and when you read both you realize that it is multi sided.

My take is somewhat different--and if I get into catalgs, I will use a template or a shopping cart or make my own to suit my current needs. just like most of us end up doing in the end.

Thanks for referring me to that site..But after looking at what I receive each week-- I will more than likely just flip a coin.

Richard
