It's easy Jon. I make $15-20 dollars an hour working out of my home, doing transcriptions; $20 if the client is my own; $15 if it client comes from an agency. It's a freelance business, self-employed. I also do painting and carpentry and a whole bunch of stuff, working with friends. Not only is it enjoyable doing a "This Old House" gig, but it's fun working with friends. I would like to make more money off of my investments, but obviously I'm in a holding pattern here. I was a sports reporter for a two-bit newspaper, have driven a taxi cab and was a NH state legislator (NH doesn't pay 'em). Oh yeah, I used to manage rock n' roll bands. The Time vs. Value vs. Money thing I put on you was quite appropriate under the circumstances. Because even you have to admit that as a non-investor you spend an inordinate amount of time here trashing the company, its management and its investors. Even your ally, HIGHPLANESABATEUR, thought the Time vs. Value vs. Money forumla was both relevant and interesting. The bottom line is you don't like having your accomplishments attacked and that's why you're overly sensitive about the Stock Club. I tried to help you on it, and you rejected it. So you've got to live with the public criticism since you offer it to the public. And I've invested in a public company and therefore have to put up with your criticism. So what's your problem? I never tried to boot you off this thread. I've been threatened, intimidated, impersonated and called every name in the book. But it was only when someone fraudulently used my email address in the letter to Disney did I ever complain. My advice to you? Stop wasting your time here and fix up your Stock Club. Make a deal with these rapidly development internet companies and get some recognition for your work. And, if you think about it, you've got to admit it's pretty good advice. Were Stock Club a private matter only, I wouldn't comment on it. But, right now, you offer it to the public and it therefore is fair game for criticism.
