Guys,

At the risk of causing offense, would you mind taking this OT

I don’t care who started it, who is right or wrong for that matter, but hey, lets stop the mud slinging, 

Its neither professional, pleasant or very grown up.



Just my 2 pennyworth

Wow! 

Dude you've got a problem. For you to know so much about a list person you've never meant and to go to such an extent - to so much effort to do list - you've got mental issues. 



Do you still live with your parents? Perhaps in there basement? You've got WAY too much time on your hands. 



And you also take criticism really well. I bet you've been fired from a few jobs because you couldn't get along with people. Someone as understanding, thoughtful and open-minded as yourself......please, let's meet for lunch. 



I still say on the inside - your a genuine horses ass.

>You might recall a ‘single’ list that I sold 5 years ago that just had email addresses, well these lists are 6 times greater in length/entries and have many significant details. At that time I retired from consulting within the HP3000 market……..however, due to my home in Ohio not selling I had to resign from my position in FL and return to HP3000 consulting to pay the immediate bills…..now, again, years later I’m ready to retire once again from this fine O.S. and sell my new and improved sets of “lists”. I’m now in a perm/full-time position performing SQL Server/PM work.

Actually, I recall you offering your list a little over 2 years ago, December 2007.



As a pundit once said over 3 years ago:

Sounds like you have mainly a list of MPE obituaries for the last 13 years (out of your 20 years), based on your statements.  You worked for a countless number of companies migrating off MPE as fast as they could between 1997 and 2006?  Wouldn't seem like there was enough companies left for any kind of useful HP3000 contact list today.





Your purchase acknowledges release of me as liable for any type responsibility. Moreover, your purchase of this list requires that you keep me as your source of this information in strict confidence.

Whoa, this sounds like you might have collected some information illegally!  Could there be some identity theft liabilities here?



Seriously, what kinds of information are you selling here?  What are the liabilities?  Why the secrecy?



How valuable is this information?  It seems that you have been looking for work almost continually for the last few years, sometimes desperately.  What does that say about the value your lists?  Just last year, August 11, you were looking for a list of current HP3000 owners.  Why?  You have stated many times how in touch you are and how complete your first list was 2 years ago.  Any references for your previous list besides John Stephens?

No, no, please let me buy you "coffe" and show you the wonders of the Yahoo spell checker!





 Please allow me the chance to meet you. Your are a VERY impresive individual. Allow me to compliment you in person over lunch.:-)

You are too kind, and VERY "impresive" grammatically too!
