Very nice reply! I was going to say, "Who gives a rat's a--?" Then I was going to say...

"What a bunch of crap, Jason!"

Listen, I've allowed your Don Alm rants to cause huge riots on this board because I thought it was time certain, shall we say, "inconsistencies" were exposed.

Why in the WORLD (yes, I'm yelling) would you drag Steve Shulenski into this??

I'm done!

I've had enough!

Steve Shulenski is SUCCESSFUL.

I believe he is HONEST.

He has told us the original Midas Report contained mostly illustrations, so they weren't the pirated pictures in the first place --

But then he took that report and those ideas -- (don't we ALL wish we had the schnaboolies to do this??) -- and he IMPLEMENTED them.

And he IMPROVED them.

And he SUCCEEDED with them.

And he WROTE about them.

Then he REPLACED most of the pictures with his own (which he clearly had the right to do, according to the license he, and only he, purchased).

And he ADDED VALUE to the report, making it more complete.

You have attacked (forgive me, I meant "criticized") (ooops, forgive me twice, I meant "constructively commented upon") the most RIDICULOUS things!

WHY?

Just to cause trouble?

For example:

>> ODD AS IT MAY SOUND, I PREFER TO PEE ON THE ELECTRIC FENCE MYSELF AFTER
>> READING FROM THOSE THAT SAY NOT TO.

I'm starting to think you prefer to indiscriminately pee on everything.

This time, you peed into the wind.

>> PEOPLE MAY GET UPSET WHEN YOUR VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN WHAT THEY EXPECTED.

Or maybe Steve sells "his version" in a way that makes it clear what they'll be getting, y'spozzzzze??

>> IF YOU REPLACE YOU ARE CHANGING HIS ORIGINAL CONTENT AND COULD
>> BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR BOTTOMLINE.

You've not listening! He posted a copy of the license. He can use it ANY WAY he wants to use it.

>> I HAVE NO REASON TO DOUBT YOU STEVE, JUST AM A LITTLE LEARY WHEN YOU
>> BUDDY UP TO A PERAON THAT I HAVE SPENT A LARGE CHUNK OF TIME TO FIND
>> OUT IS UP TO NO GOOD.

He didn't "buddy up" with anybody, you nincompoop.

He bought the rights to a product.

He put the information in the product to the test like most of us only dream about.

He improved upon the product.

He's selling his NEW AND IMPROVED product.

>> MY PERSONAL OPINION.....
>> DUMP THE MIDAS REPORT AND WRITE YOUR OWN "REAL" REPORT
>> ON THE THINGS THAT YOU AND YOUR WIFE HAVE DONE.

No offense, but if I had done what Steve has done, heeding your personal opinion would be the farthest thing from my mind... as would heeding ANYONE'S personal opinion. I would just keep doing what I was doing.

>> I KNOW THAT SOME OF HIS STUFF WILL WORK AS I HAVE DONE A FEW THINGS MYSELF
>> THAT HE HAS TALKED ABOUT ON ANOTHER FORUM, IT JUST WOULDN'T WORK THE WAY HE
>> WROTE IT. AS YOU HAVE SAID SEVERAL TIMES AS WEL, IT NEEDS TO BE
>> TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEKED TO MAKE THEN VIABLE PROJECTS.

Have you been sniffing something?

He said he TWEEEEEEEEEEEEKED it, you gave him several reasons he should have written a new report instead of tweeeeeeeeeeeeeking it, and now you're telling him he should tweeeeeeeeeeeeek it?

>> NOT ONCE HAVE I SEEN YOU OR HIM MARKET "THE FIRST SECTION" IF IT IS SO
>> VALUABLE, THAT IS WHAT SOULD BE BEING MARKETED NOT THE 20 PROGRAMS

That isn't Steve's problem.

What Steve should be marketing is the NEW and IMPROVED report he has written.

And he is.

>> I AM NOT REAL SHY EITHER AND HAVE NO PROBLEM WALKING IN AN LOOKING FOR THE
>> OWNER OF A SAID BUSINESS TO BOUNCE MY IDEAS OFF OF.

That's you, Jason. It ain't me. And it ain't MOST PEOPLE who are "real shy." We don't do direct sales, and we don't "walk in an look" for the owner of said business.

Steve has the IDEAL SITUATION... he and his wife complement each other perfectly. They both have their own skill sets, and between them, they make a successful team.

WHAT'S TO KNOCK???

I would kill for that!!

>> I DON'T NEED A SOURCE FOR A DECK SEALER, I HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR
>> SEVERAL YEARS AND AM HAPPY WITH WHOM I GET MY PRODUCT.

You're rambling again.

>> SECONDLY, HOW ARE YOU TO SERVICE A CLIENT IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE
>> TO GET THE PRODUCTS.

FOR CRAPSAKE, JASON!! He said the ORIGINAL report did not have this information. Do you know for a fact that HIS report does not???

>> ARE ALL OF HIS 20 REPORTS LIKE THIS?

WHO CARES??? THIS DISCUSSION WAS NOT ABOUT DON ALM!!! (Sorry, I'm not yelling, I'm SCREAMING!!!)

>> IF I WERE A FIRST TIME BUSINESS PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OWNER, I FEEL THAT
>> THIS INFO WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO MY SUCCESS.
>> oNE THING THAT I REMEMBER FROM DONS DECK BIZ SITE THAT HE PROMOTED IN
>> THE MIDAS REPORT IS THAT HE SAYS YOU DON'T NEED ANY POWER EQUIPMENT.
>> ANSWER ME THIS STEVE.....
>> I HAVE BEEN IN THE BIZ FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND MADE MY MONEY JUST AS
>> YOU STATE THAT YOU HAVE, WOULD THE NUMBERS HE CLAIMS BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT
>> POWER EQUIPMENT?

>> I HOPE THAT YOUR ANSWER IS NO!

And again I scream, "WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING???"

Steve made a fantastic post that could, and should, be an inspiration to anyone trying to get their hiney in gear.

You are running around like a demented turkey trying to turn it into another "Fry Don Alm" fest, and all you're doing is making yourself look like a jerk.

>> THIS IS WHY I FEEL THAT THE MIDAS REPORT IS FLAWED AND MISLEADING TO THE
>> FOLKS THAT PURCHASE IT FROM YOU OR THE OTHER GUY.

Golly, do ya really??

>> IT IS JUST NOT GOOD BUSINESS TO SELL SOMETHING THAT IS FULL OF QUARTER TRUTHS.

He isn't selling it......... REMEMBER??

>> YOU HAVE STATED A FEW TIMES THAT YOU SELL SEVERAL MIDAS REPORTS A MONTH
>> WHICH TELLS ME THAT YOU HAVE RECOVERED YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT A FEW TIMES
>> OVER.

He sells HIS OWN version... can you spell H-I-S O-W-N ????

>> I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO NOT SELL THIS REPORT AT
>> ALL, AND IF YOU FEEL THATTHE FIRST PART (WHAT EVER THAT IS) SHOULD BE
>> MARKETED AS A BONUS TO SELL ALL OF YOU AND SUSHAS "REAL" LIFE VENTURES

So???

>> DON'T ADD TOO OR REPLCE PHOTOS, AGAIN I FEEL IT WOULD BE BEST TO SEPERATE
>> FROM THE MIDAS REPORT

Again... SO?????

>> THIS IS NOT A SLAM STEVE BUT IN TODAYS COMPUTER AGE IS THAT THE BEST IMAGE
>> FOR THE VIDEO CASE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PRODUCED?

OWIE!!

Excellent strategy! When you have nothing valuable to say, say something nasty.

>> I AM NOT QUESTIONING YOUR GOOD AND I HOPE THAT YOU SEE THE GOOD IN WHAT I
>> AM DOING BY REMOVING SCAMMERS FROM THE NET

Then do it somewhere else.

This last tirade has finished me.

I'm done.

Go pee on somebody else's fence.

>> ANYONE CAN FIND GOOD IN ANYTHING, THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG SHOULD I HAVE
>> TO LOOK?

How long *have* you looked, Jason?

Did you buy Steve's report?

Did you analyze it??

Did you have to dig to find the good stuff?

Did you find it full of "quarter truths"??

If you had never heard of Don Alm, would you have seen the good in Steve's report easily, or would you have been totally insanely obsessed with its "attachment" to Don Alm and miss the value?

>> LAST I CHECKED, DON WASN'T EVEN SELLING HIS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND OUT WHY.
>> IT COULD BE THAT HE RAN INTO SOME LEGAL PROBLEMS BY LICENSING THINGS THAT
>> DO NOT BELONG TO HIM.

>> NEVER KNOW.

No, you never know.

But what I do know is that what Don Alm does with his Midas Report has nothing to do with what Steve Shulenski did with his LICENSE to use said product ANY WAY he sees fit.

Take it somewhere else, Jason.

Steve Shulenski is the best thing that's happened to FIB in a long time. I'm not going to let you turn your rabid, fanatical hatred of Don Alm into Spit on Steve Shulenski Day.

I'm Judge, Jury, and Executioner in these parts, and I'm telling you...

IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

Luv,
