Well, I'd like to know, your own experience, names of the sources you've found
free or at "much less cost", but w/ good and/or reliable info.
And more importantly, at least for me, it should be concise to be able to put
into use, rather than to read through "bulky" volumes!! These days with so
much of info overload, sorting them out is much bigger problem, even among the
so called "good" ones!!
What you say about "finding" a good product is very, very true. So, these educational
"books and tapes" almost always exaggerate, in the process you don't know
how much of it to believe. So, due deligence is in fact almost impossible,
untill you try out yourself. Could you please tell some of your own experience
of how you were able to find or handle finding a good or name brands products
without having spend too much money for it. If you could share here, to
whatever your "comfort-level", I'd appreciate and many starters, like me as
well.
Thanks in advance,
=Chandra
ps: if you'd like to rather write to me directly, please do so.

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.

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!!). |
