alot.

but alas, they are long long gone, and i still get checks from recurring member bases created back then. treat 'em as customers and with respect, and they KEEP ON giving you money.

if you could go back in time, knowing what you know now, would you go down the path of "free joins" with the back end credit card slams and all that traffic, put millions in the bank and bail when things got hot? or do you stay on the straight and narrow?
