Sabby, you ever made that?

Well, it was only small fry, but between 1997 and 2000 ABC-web was making an average of $200K a month - does that count?

Your use of the past tense says it all. When we stories. Today, dude...
You know when you gotta do it legally. Hell anyone can sell crack and get rich. So no it does not count. Talk in the present tense if you wanna be relevant. You can't do business like that anymore. The feds got wise and so did the customers. That shit almost wrecked the business, so it is not something to be admired nor emulated.

There's nothing *past* about me - I am close to making what I did in the late 90s but in bricks and mortar stuff - just repeating the formula - innovating where I see little progress.

Dunno why I hang around here sometimes really.

Oh yes I do ... people like you

That's nice Robin. I am so happy for your success in the real world of bricks and mortar. Lots of us make money in bricks and mortar. That is easy. It is a tried and true formula. Safe as houses, actually.

No I am not doing real estate - currently I start, build up and sell restaurants at a profit. Nowadays I like to spend my days with *real* people you see

Yeah, I hear there is decent money in that. Too much freeking work for my taste. But to each his own.
