Rhetorical. Thank you.

[sarettah]

I have seen the light.
Graham Alexander, is your board tracker going off
Because you always have so much constructive criticism and wisdom to contribute to a conversation I had to take to heart your comments in my recent threads about 2mooch. Initially they stung badly coming from you who I have always considered my reluctant mentor of sorts.

So, I looked back at some past posts, I looked at the current posts in an attempt to understand and to put some context to the enlightenment that you have been trying to pass on to me.

I think I finally see it oh great master.

In the past you have said such wise things as:

and of course who can forget:

As for "surfmasters". Their ain't no such thing except on Oprano. It is an insult to those starting off in this racket. If you want to insult those who will pay your rent someday, then just keep it up.

and finally:

(That is just a small sample of the past similar wisdom that you have attempted to bestow upon our undeserving minds. Thank you oh great one. May R_n always place blessings upon you)


But in the present context you imparted this directly to me:

Thus, I was confused for a while.

But I am confused no more. Hallelujah, I have seen the light. Oh thank you great master for imparting this wisdom upon my worthless, poor soul.

I finally understand !!!

It was not ok for people to rip off newbies in the old days.

But here we are in the new internet, web 2.0, where it is perfectly acceptable for people to rip off newbies because the new measurement of whether something is ok to do or not is whether it makes you more money.

So, it doesn’t matter if 2Mooch targeted newbies. It doesn’t matter if 2mooch showed a pattern of selling one thing to newbies but delivering another. It doesn’t matter if they consistently place all blame for newbies failure with thier program upon the newbie and never accept any responsibility for the situation themselves. After all, they made money and that is the measurement of success, isn’t it.

So, thank you oh Rhetorical almighty. I am taking your great wisdom to heart. I will not fail you oh mighty oracle.

I'm thinking that toolbar downloads would be a good place for me to start on my new path. Whatdaya think?
