Jack, I think you have done a tremendous job!! On top of that you are truly a nice person. TM, Im sure is very proud of the site, and he very well should be. Sandra

Jack since it's off hours, let me ask a few silly questions.. Is Joes site dynamic? Not being an html expert, what I mean is, when he posts something, does it appear in real time or do you need to keep hitting "refresh/reload"? Doesn't the site offer pretty much the same sort of thing he offered here? Graphics and design elements aside for the moment (nice by the way), is the content going to be different than what he did here? There will, I assume, be a dialog among members (like here) he will post his picks (like here but with the addition of instant email), I don't mean this as a dig, but the main difference seems to be the screening of prospective members.... I don't know enough about the financial issues involved in a establishing / maintaining a website, but it seems to me that TM is not going to get rich from the membership fees.... I would guess that he makes signifigantly more from his investments.. If he didnt he wouldnt be worth listening to... $29.95 is a paltry sum when put against even the commisions we pay every month, let alone the size of our investments.... but what do you actually get that you didn't get here? curious.. Cheers MG

Well i must admit Jack. The TM web site is nice. You make a very valid argument. However, the facts speak as they appear. They way I see it, the more people that log on the site, the more money you make on the "PICKS". I do commend you on a website done in a very timely manner. Most of all a website that looks nice and is very functional (KUDOS). But after designing some huge huge commercial websites on my own and getting paid for it, I would rather eat every penny of of the cost and maintenance of TM's website to get the "PICK" before any else...Obviously IMHO. Lets see, on the "PICK" I could make about $15,000 a week for 52 weeks..thats $780k. I think thats a pretty good salary for running a website for free..But again, good job, good site, and good luck..
