Jon I had NO stock in the company so I could care less. If I did not like what they offered, I would have just gone to another Club. The Lakeshore Club is good and there were other great ones around. I do not desire to get that much attention, so I say, to try to tell a company how to run their business. I have a business, I make the rules. My family were all business owners and the customers came or left as they saw fit. When and if SI or IHUB go public, I will beat them up then if I see something wrong. Right now, I just want a nice place to hang out in with some great people whom I respect who share tirelessly their wisdom. I have to admit I have learned a lot about people here and also learned not to try to figure out their agenda unless it has to do with my money and reputation. Patience my dear man. Are you a man? or a woman? <gg> Off to personal things in the beautiful sunshine.

Hi John Sorry I did not answer this question. I looked at the clock and realized that I was late to my business. I wanted to give a quick reply at the time rather than appearing rude by not responding in full. How did you feel about the fact that you were never told about the new ownership? That you had to find out about it the hard way, when they slowly changed policies until you'd had enough to go elsewhere? I live in a big city area. Lots of competition around. I only kept my membership up, paid what they wanted, because of my privileges to go to their clubs in other states. Heck, I never felt anything really when they changed their policies as I am a business woman myself and such goes business. I really do not have the time or the inclination to waste my time with such things. Things like Bob not PMing everyone in my book is petty to me. (I just wrote....to me. How someone else views the issue is their issue and feelings and I try to respect that. If I wanted to pick on a company I would do it in a very different way if I was so inclined. The rest of your post makes sense also Jon in most cases. I personally think Bob has priorities which are more important than the pm issue. Heck, have you looked at his posting history (time he posts. As early as 10am when I last checked and at late as 2am in the morning. THEN how about how he is trying to get this site up to snuff with all the equipment etc. I have to respect Bob and Matt more than I ever did because of the way they have answered posts since May 16, 2003. I think that more people look like fools, from their postings, than they did before. We are all humans who make mistakes. No one pays more for their mistakes than the one who made them. I am trying to figure out who is really suffering because of the lack of a pm to them. I have stated my opinions on this issue and will not post again about it. Thanks for sharing your feelings on it.
