Howdy Winston, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MLM's. If things aren't hot enough now, that should do the trick! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh God! Heaven help us if THAT is the topic! Gary Simpson

Hi All, I just want to state that Gary is correct there was no challenge made or taken. You might notice that here at AdLands when Gary posts he has a user name of Kyoshi. If you are unaware of the term please allow me to explain a little. A Kyoshi was responsible, in feudal times, for training a squad of soldiers. Candidates must be above forty-five years of age, sixth dan or higher, and have held the rank of Renshi for at least five years. They must be of good character, posses an exceptional level of skill, and undergo strenuous practical and written examinations before receiving the award. With Gary's level of training and expertise in his art I would most certainly be a fool to challenge him. He certainly, just by the nature of being Kyoshi, has my respect. It is not only the training however, as stated above, one must be of good character as well. I am sure that as you read Gary's posts, will see he certainly is of good character. Besides I don't fight, you see I have a real problem with fighting physically, I like to win. ;)

Hi Gary, Your recent posting is making me smile. I'm begining to notice a pattern that you introduce some words in your reply that may distort the original message. For example, you used the word jousting in more than one occasion and you feel it necessary to explain something that doesn't need explaning in this topic. Can we stay focused a little closer on the topic? People Good. Paypal Good. Randomizer Bad. Like Arild, I like the KISS principle. You may want to search some of my other posting were I commented on People, Process and Technology and how these three element form a balanced triangle or another analogy is a 3 legged stool when measuring any systems. Let's not be too hard on people and their efforts. Paypal is a process and it works well. Randomizer is a questionable tool in my opinion. That is, as it relates to making a profit.

Hi: ============================================ People Good. Paypal Good. Randomizer Bad. ============================================ LOL. You do realize, of course, that if you'd dared to post that sentence 6 pages ago, you might have had your face eaten for lunch? lol (kidding - kind of) We had to go through the process of ... people good ... paypal good ... randomizer violates paypal ... oh my god, didn't know that. ... oh my god, could lose my paypal account ... bad bad forum for telling us that ... etc ... etc ... maybe randomizer can use stormpay ... whew, we have a solution Then, finally, some people got to -- People Good. Paypal Good. Randomizer Bad. Other people got to: -- People good. Paypal Good. Randomizer bad if it uses paypal, let's use something else. But like you said - let's not be too hard on people for their choices. They make them based on what they know at the time of choice. When we have more options, we make better choices. It applies to all of us. : ) Linda

Hi Winston; ============================================ I believe it was Jack that made a comment/remark about reading the small print on PayPal. My research was quick. I went to Google and searched for "Paypal Randomizer". The first link on the search page that day was to the PayPal link I posted. So sometimes you don't need to even read the small print. Just some basic checking. ============================================ What a cool group. We all make double sure to give credit to another person. How different than the office scenario, where everyone wants to take credit for someone else's idea. lol. I like it. And you're right, by the way. ============================================ At the risk of rushing anyone, what's next on your list Linda? Let's do MLM's. ============================================ LOL. Winston, you're getting to know me too well. That's frightening in a funny sort of way. Watch your inbox. : ) Linda
