Perhaps something was lost in the translation.

Is my account of events incorrect? If so, this is more than a little bit confusing.

Hope it all works out for you.

Does this also mean you will be refunding all those SPL folks who signed up after they found you via this "private" blog? ;-) or will you keep the funds to pay for the legal bills?!!! :-) I can't begin to imagine how difficult it will be to ensure that each & every one of them returns all the info they "stole" ;-) from you. Best ensure they all sign NDA's and threaten them with lawsuits if they discuss ANY of your content anywhere or with anyone! As for this blog, I will format my HDD tonight, to ensure all info on it from your site has been irrevocably removed! :-) Eran <abbr><em>Eran Mallochs last blog post..<a href="http://whitechalkroad.com/google-adwords/adwords-best-practises/" rel="nofollow">Some Google AdWords Best Practises</a></em></abbr> Drat Jack!

It's like when i'm having a back yard BBQ and talking to one of my buddies. You walk the walk yet you "seem" approachable and down-to-earth as if you are just being yourself and not trying to impress people that you are someone or something you are not! Thanks for being yourself! -Tim PS. Remember when your webmaster told you about that "Private" Twitter application to catalog your private micro-thoughts? When you get a moment, and are calm and sitting down, give me a call and we can discuss it! <abbr><em>Tim Starks last blog post..<a href="http://www.chsalumnisocialsite.com/xn/detail/2280136:BlogPost:1283" rel="nofollow">Have You Been Chromed?</a></em></abbr> Jack,

It's terrible. I didn't know you were also trying to keep a low profile on the web. I have read your stuff and I apologize. Someone linked to you and I just blindly followed the link, thinking nothing of it. @SimplyD – I know. It’s terrible. I didn’t know you were also trying to keep a low profile on the web.

Debbi - since the blog was private I will have to confiscate your computer. Please send it here ASAP. Email is fine. I've turned this page into a petition everyone can sign by commenting which indicates your pledge not to read FTR from today forward. Anyone caught linking to FTR after today faces the chance of being linked back or submitted to StumbleUpon multiple times. I will fight fire with fire. How would you like a bunch of people reading YOUR blog? Not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot! Jen – You get some kind of award for that memory!

In checking with a forensics lab, I found that you can never really erase the data on your computer. So, outside of running over my computer with a steamroller, I don't know how to protect all this valuable information from the eyes and ears of the public. The ball is in your court. If you can wire me $2,345.98 for a new computer, I will take this one, hide it in a car at the junkyard, and wait until it is crushed (I actually think this is what happens when people say you can crush your competition, but nobody will actually admit it!) If this option doesn't work, you will just have to trust me to not spill the beans. Please advise. I'm losing sleep over this... Debbi Bressler Jack,
