Find Out About The Free Info. That Was Banned On Another Marketing Board -- (Post Approved by Dien)

This wasn't about hype. This was about someone offering free information. Take it or leave it.
Period.

Now why would anyone at GetResponse tell you or anyone else (besides the list owner) how many subscribers were on the list? Maybe this information is publicly available. I don't know that I've ever spent time trying to find out how many people were on someone's list. That seems like a waste of time to me.

Again, how is this any different than me posting a link to a web site?

Excuse me. You don't know me and I don't know you.
You don't know whether I know the difference between hype and reality or not nor do I know that about you for that matter. As many of the posters on this board can attest, I have been at this "game" of marketing for a number of years, some even before *there was* a commercial Internet. I have built a solid reputation by giving solid information in exchange for the dollars invested. Neither my reputation nor my information is built on hype. So please don't go casting stones in ponds with which you are not familiar.

Are we really so pessimistic that we can't take someone at their word until they prove us wrong? And BTW. I'm fully aware that you have to work for what you get.

>Steve is 100 percent right in this situation.

And on that point we disagree.
