We better send in $365, because these guys need at least a year's worth of smarter.

The fact that they are not responding to this thread makes all of YOU look foolish. If you dislike their behavior so much, why do you egg them on with threads like this?

It seems you are more interested in a cyber pillow fight than civilized discussion.

As someone who has been a recent target of smooth-lobed DGIs, I claim some perspective on this issue. It seems to me that the solution to the problem of uncivilized types posting to this forum is simple, if inconvenient. I think that this forum needs to change to a format where only members (memberships are free) with passwords can post messages. This is how it is handled on the forum on Mike Hyatt's site (www.michaelhyatt.com). Yes, this would be inconvenient, a pain, and none of us (including me) would enjoy it, but I see no other practical alternative. Having 24-hour/day constant forum monitoring would work, but is hardly a practical suggestion. Anyone else have any other workable ideas, please post them.

I want Minisota Smith to Stay!! I think he is informative and that his arguements are well thought out!! If he leaves, this place will be all the worse off! =<

Or Minnysorta could start his own forum, cause his idea about changing this one sucks.
