Don't stop him on my behalf. It's kind of entertaining actually. Seems like his skin is not as thick as he would like to portray
Besides....I'm a big boy
lol.. actually my skin is real think.. you were the one who was getting cranky... you asked serge to end/lock the first thread.. and now serge asked me to stop pissing on you... so who is the one with the thin skin????
serge asked me to stop.. .so I will... I mean, I'm nothing but a worthless bug you can easily squash.. lol...
Tony, Ken never asked me for anything,
it's all my innitiative on all counts.
I'll share one episode from my life, maybe it will help you.
In 1991, my last employer, Electrical contractor,
was making $4200 a week (I peaked at his check once by accident)
when he fired me for being pissy with his secretery he was doing on a side,
I made myself a promise,
I'll get to you!
...and I did.
he was my LAST employer,
and 7 years later,
I called him up, asked for his fax number and faxed him the copy of my weekly check and thanked him for firing me.
I'll make sure that I have Ken's fax number for you when you are ready
;-))))
I know Ken since 1997, I knoiw you since January of this year,
ALL business dealings with both of you left NOTHING but a very good taste in my mouth and...
agree or not, but you BOTH are good people, even if you don't see eye to eye.
Now you have MOTIVATION to throw a REAL pi$$,
work on it, and when you fax Ken what I faxed my employer,
I wanna have a copy!
;-))

Ken,
my Electrical Contractor is no longer in business,
so I can't ask him if was impressed that the check was close to 100 times bigger than his or he wasn't impressed due to the fact that the money were earned by sending traffic to porn web sites
;-)))
iBeing a student of history,
I can only quote Emperor Vespasian who was confronted by his son Titus
(who later destroyed Jerusalem Temple)
why Vespasian introduced tax on public toilets in Rome.
Vespasian took golden sestersi out of the tunic,
sticked it in Titus's nose and asked:
"Does it smell"??
...and this is how the expression
"Money don't smell" came about
;-)))

Serge - I'm not saying that the money you made was not anything special because it came from porn. Obviously, I don't have a problem taking my share from this biz and I see it like any other biz....
I'm saying in any industry...porn or selling toilet supplies, there are ways to scam your way into a short term big paycheck vs working hard, being honest and BUILDING a real business.....
Any idiot can make big money in this biz if they are willing to scam people not everyone can build a real business. Maybe I'm hard to impress....I don't know
Serge...I had a similar experience with my last employer (9 years ago) and I agree it's the best motivation in the world. However....the size of the check is equally important as to how someone earned it.
For example.....If Tony earned 100k a month spamming, I would not be impressed. If he earned 30k a month running his own legite webmaster program or some other business that took time, work and ethics, I would be VERY impressed. That takes true character and only time will tell
it'll take a lot less then 7 years to get a fax to you
there is more to me then just mailing.. I'm pretty good at telling ppl what to do and how to do it.. do jennaxxx and hustlercontent ring a bell

you think I'm in it for a quick buck? its a slow grind to the top and I am all about the long term.. I could easily make $1mm a month if I wanted to spam. but that would be short money... mailing is just one small piece of the puzzle
you'd be hard pressed to find someone who'd say I wasn't honest or hardworking...

********************************
not really...
being close to GBU,
I saw my share of scams and all of them have one common denominator:
when word gets around that you are no good,
that's basically the end of the scam and a gravy train,
and there is only thta much one can pull on a "one time heist" in this business.
me myself who can quote J Collins and her title
"Past imperfect",
is ill equipped to lecture on the subject of business morals and ethics.
Thus I exit the stage and let those who are without sins to cast ALL the stones
;-)))
we all have sins, and I will not throw any rocks in glass houses.
Another rainy day in Portland, damm getting old and sick of rain. Told Mary we should take the kids to disneyworld this summer and check out some nice areas of florida..

I agree Todd. It would be tough to find anyone in this industry or any other who is perfect. It's not human nature
yep told her that you and the mrs will be up soon. She said she can't wait to meet you, but she doesn't like to drink Vodka much I told her np, you can have your own drinks. Me and rick and others will teach Serge how to drink Stoli ) LOL
of course I agree with you on that one. I have some past imperfections that I am not proud of, hey what can you do? Realize your mistakes, and learn from them.
I have learned that if always try and be ohnest and sincere with ppl you work with and do biz. with you will go farther in this world.
We might all sell / push Porn, butt plugs or whatever, but it's still a business and should always be treated as such..
might want to read my post again...why would you assume I was talking about you? I was replying to Serge and I was making a blanket statement. Has nothing to do with you.........that I know of
hrmmm... maybe I misread then.. just that the previous posts named me.. but hey, when you assume things.. lol...
anyways.. I"m not out to burn bridges.. if that was the case.. you'd know it
good choice there I have been in the net biz since 1994 and have tried my hardest not to burn any bridges. Of course there is some I am sure I have lit on fire, but always best to try and stay civil with most ppl.
My worst times I guess when I have to play bill collector with companies that have so much $$$, but yet fail to pay bills on time, I can never fig. that out. I mean ohnestly, we don't offer net30 When my company gets a bill, it is paid ASAP, right then, or a check via fedex.
