> eBay nearly kills me.

> After eight years, I'm still learning (and my websites are very

> I love websites because they give me an audience for my writing and I can
> do anything I want with them.
> I hate eBay.
> I don't know what else to say about that --
> All it takes is one sale to get me addicted to eBay all over again, but
> when I'm *not* eBaying, I look back and say I hated it.
> One look at eBay.com and you'll see there are millions of people who love

> I think eBay is a great way to get started -- which is one of the things I

> If I didn't have too many pots on the stove already, I believe I might

you're all excited because it's snowing 45 minutes away and I'm all excited because it's been in the high 30s and low 40s here the last few days and the snow is finally starting to go away - want to sway places? They're predicting 4 to six inches of new snow tomorrow.
Kevin, although she hasn't come right out and said it, MaaMaw has provided you with the most important key to success in this thread.
Most people who fail on the Net do so because they start something new, try it for a week or a month, and then give up and start all over with something else.
Those who do succeed do so because when they get involved with something that's where they concentrate their efforts and stay with it long term so it has a chance to succeed.
Sadly, most never understand that.

| 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.

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!!). |
