Aw shoot. I'll cop to it. Next time I'll read the FAQ.
Apologies, though I did enjoy reading the reactions.

You have to read a FAQ to know that pretending that you "just found"
something, when you're the founding father, is unacceptable? C'mon.
You can do better than that.

There's a word for lying while trying to sell something.

hey excuse me: I was just trying to get some exposure for an item I
thought the users of this list might find interesting. I'm learning
from my experiences and I'll represent myself more objectively in the
future. Thanks for your frank comments, though. Always refreshing to
read people's unvarnished opinions, especially yours.

Yah know as a participant you'd be welcome here - obviously an interesting
outlook to offer the products you've got. A lot of the people posting here have
something to sell as well. The difference is, they are honest about it.

"Dudes, check out this great new website I found!" is no more persuasive than
"Dudes, I make this killer stuff. I sure can understand lying to avoid trouble
and even outright fraud makes its own shortsighted sense. But why not be square
when offering a perfectly legitimate product for sale to a probable audience.
There are rules and customs that regulate and restrict spamming. The use of a
sock puppet doesn't waive any of them. Makes it worse, even.

Mostly, the sock puppet sale pitch has been done so damn long and often it's
become sort of insulting.

Hi, Ron. I sort of understood that earlier. I appreciate your telling
me again though in a tone that is considerably more civil. I agree
with you. I have put my sock puppet in the drawer, so to speak.

BTW Ron what do you think of the race number windbreaker? I've only
gotten one or two comments before the "shoot the messenger" thing
kicked in.

You still don't get it. You are the messenger _and_ the message.
That's how it works. You tried to separate the two as if that would
somehow matter to anyone. If you have a good product (you seem to -
though I think it's overpriced (no doubt due to your local labor
costs), and you're straightforward in your dealing with people, you'll
sell them.

Think of it this way - if you'd done this on eBay you'd have 50% or
more negative feedback and no one in their right mind would buy from
you. You'd have to change user IDs.

Let this thread die, start another one - starting fresh - and we'll
all be proud of you. Your sales will sky rocket, you'll have a killer
IPO, hang out at Jeff Bezos house and be implicated in some nightclub
scandal with Paris Hilton.
