OH GLORY!! (Did I say that already?)
What I don't understand: "a frame of photos from a search engine"...
I may be taking that too literally. You mean he sucked these up from something that had already been done on a particular search engine?
Or if I go around the net manually, grab photos, thumbnail 'em, and link directly to the page like he did, that's the same thing and it's legit??

I learned that the hard 'n ugly way when Katie was hunting for "goat" photos and found a picture with no goat in sight; the only thing in sight was the most *HORRIBLE* porn picture I have ever seen (and as the proud owner of a pervert masquerading as an ex-son-in-law, I've seen plenty).
I cried every "alone minute" for the next several days it was so awful, and you can never take it back. It's burned into her obsessive-compulsive little brain, and no matter how hard I tried to minimize it and explain "there are just some crazy people in the world," it keeps coming up.
SPEAKING OF WHICH... Google put an ad on my site about animal research. OH MY GOD!!... I nearly DIED when I checked it out and realized I had been inadvertently sending kids there.... It was like a horror movie!! Of course I banned the site, but if there was one, there are others, and there's no way to catch ALL the bad stuff coming through Google.
Thanks, Mel, for the day brightener.. I'm SO EXCITED about this!!
Luv,

| 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. 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.

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!!). |
