I can answer your question to James from my perspective, probably have ignored him as I did you. A mistake I will never make again! I am not trying to say that you are the "end all be all" but I truly want to hear negative information from any source. If I still feel strongly then it is my mistake, just as it was from not listening to all those that were saying it was a scam from the beginning.

The situation is remarkable in the context that it really showed that greed and ignorance are terrible traits to carry. I am guilty of these in this situation and I will never allow it to happen again. I hope.

Dan

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what I would have done; however, Mark was for some reason someone I placed some trust in. I couldn't figure out where everybody was coming from and I'm sure I had my greed glasses on, but I do recall asking for a lot less hype, discussion of pork chops, bitch slapping etc. so that we could help each other and get meaningful information from this thread. I was told by the noisier people that I should go start my own thread. Don't get me wrong, but I did place Mark in a different category as he seemed to be truly interested in doing his "job" as the SAC and I believed he had closer information from GIFS because of that relationship. Therefore, I think I would have been inclined to bail out earlier if Mark had made clear what he had found out. I said "I think" because, honestly, I'm not sure what I really would have done.
