If I lived closer I would consider going. It is a 9 hour drive, I have a SUV, so gas alone would kill me, then hotel, food, and dogsitting would take the rest of what little money I have. My main priorty is the learn about SEO, something I only learned about here last week.I am such a newbie about internet marketing. I want to find the right web design/hosting co that will be revelent to me. Since I am selling real products, not just info, articles, etc.,I understand a lot of the info IMC would offer me would not be worth the trip. I spoke to my daughter and she does not have my IMC. I am going over to mom's house this week and will make sure it is not there. If it is not there, I will take you up on your offer. Just let me know what the shipping is and how you want me to pay. I live in zip code 41129.I hate that I lost mine, but the sale was so big I ended up losing other things as well. Thanks, Carla>
IF... I knew could trust myself not to whip out the old credit card.

| 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.

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!!). |
