Maybe to a few on the Café forums. By that time no one will know or care about it. Also someone could easily reseal the package and claim it was never opened, and no one would be able to compare it because of the limited product. I am surprised a great spell checking chap like you would be so dense.

A spell checker won't help you - it isn't poor spelling, it's ignorance. "Wreak" is a word (as in "wreak havoc"), so spell check will let it pass. You actually have to know the difference between something that reeks (as in smell) and something that wreaks (as in to inflict). These words are something called "homophones."
It's not an attack on you, it is an observation. Mike. |

No, there is no "guaranteed" injection as has been explained multiple times in this thread. People can turn it off and cancel at any time. If it is a lousy program, the renewal money will be slim to none. Come on -- you don't think they can safely assume that most people who are still subscribers in about a year are going to continue subscribing? Quote:
In general, I think it is common for subscriptions to paid for a year in advance for material that is sight-unseen. The comparison doesn't really work. How many publications require you to subscribe before you can get a look at what's on offer? Yes -- when you subscribe to Magic or Genii (for example), you have to pay a year's subscription fee up front. But both publications also let you buy single issues any time you want and get a feel for their quality and content before plunking down a year's worth of money. Quote:
You simply don't know this. It is your assumption. No one claims this is non-profit or a great charity but claiming money is their PRIMARY motivation is overstating it based on what we know at this time. This is just semantics. If Real Secrets loses money for its proprietors -- or if it just breaks even -- do you think they'll keep putting in the time and effort involved in acquiring, manufacturing, and distributing their product?

And rhetoric? You, sir, are a laugh. Mike. |

I wonder if the contributers to RS are being paid for their contributions.

Except that I don't care if they believe me or not. I have paid my $144, and I am SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!! YIIIIIPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!
There is no way anyone can rain on my parade. I have no idea what will come from this, but I am giddy like a school girl. Hey, I think someone actually called me that before. James aka "giddy schoolgirl" Quote: On 2012-03-13 00:22, sirbrad wrote:

Actually, it seems RS has created one of the most spirited threads in a long time. Although a few posts have gotten a bit too ad hominem, it has been a fun ride. Hopefully the banter will continue.
Have to admit a touch of jealousy over those who are so excited and anticipatory- giddy is hard to come by, and one of life's best gifts. Enjoy! Jim

Wish I could. I'm not that solvent, YET! If this was 2010, I would not even be watching this thread. 2010 was the worst financial year of my life.
In the holiday season, I did 2 shows! Usually in that 2 week period I will do 25-30. It was a killer. We were scraping to get the mortgage payments. Things are finally better and cash flow is coming around. I think correction is on the horizon. James Quote: On 2012-03-13 12:19, Atom3339 wrote:

With that said, it would be much easier reading if some certain member here would stop with his never ending childish rants and showing his true age. ![]()
