Doc, I have to admit that I appreciate what you're doing here. Selling a product without giving away its specifics is incredibly difficult to do. You seem to have anticipated that people will inherently not trust some random person in "the cloud." Your methods of suggesting those people look at their own faults instead, are interesting at worst. The language is frequently spiced up with a taste of motivational or self help rhetoric. So I have to admit, you've won me over. I am a fan of what you have managed to do so far. I'm going to leave the most obvious questions about the book alone and focus on two that might get answered.

1) Illiciting an emotional response using words is no small feat. I'm really, really curious. Who was your mentor? Where did you learn the fine art of selling?

2) How do you like domainsbyproxy.com? I've gotten a TON of garbage mail as a result of every domain I have ever registered and think a company like that is simply amazing.

I hope this guy is really gone. Even his rebuttals were just loud. It is as if he just knew that he was going to have to deal with this and wrote them out ahead of time and then just sprinkled a few specific insults at members of the forum before leaving. BTW did anyone notice crip only made 3 posts on this site before making this claim? He didn't even bother to stick around and contribute to build any credibility.

You notice that once he started getting questioned he evaded giving factual answers and has not returned.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced he was selling instructions on how to print million dollar bills on your inkjet.

>Cough< (gag) *choke*
What a great first thread to read here (not)

It is sounding like only people who can afford to throw $$ away are the 1% who have a chance. I'm here to try and make something in the meantime until I am that rich... and a few too many good ideas of mine have already made someone else rich after I tucked the idea in my briefcase to trust anyone on just their dangling carrot to follow... :roll:
