Rob,
It was not meant as a comparison....it was meant to smoke out that
SLEAZEBALL Steve Arnold who is blantantly trying to capitalize on the help a
brother out sale.

I was touched by the Help a brother sale and did not have the money to
"help" if I did I would have sent it without a thought and would have asked
for nothing in return. We are self employed also and we have NO health
insurance. MY 8 year old son just underwent surgery for an
appendicitus...$14,000.00 and counting and we have NO way to pay for it. We
have for the first time in our(my wife and I) lives applied for assistance
from the state for help with our medical bills. If we get turned down I will
have to make some tough decisions...BUT I WON'T BE ASKING FOR HELP ON THIS
LIST.

My point was that with the recent bullshit that went on with Steve and his
repeated spamming of this list with his sales it is my opinion that he is
selling all of us BULLSHIT. Even if his mother in law did die...their lack
of PRIOR planning for what is inevitable for all of us does not in my
opinion constitute a reason for all of us to come to his aid....WHAT
HAPPENED in the case of the Help a Brother sale was unforeseeable...there is
a HUGE difference, no one including me with my sons case can help it when a
sickness comes out of the blue, and if you have ever been self employed you
have an idea of how difficult it is and how exceedingly expensive it is to
insure yourself and your family.

My thoughts and prayers still go out to the person that the help a brother
sale was for...I wish I was in a position to help...as for Steve Arnold....I
do not think he is at all a truthful individual and I DO think he is trying
to take advantage of a good thing by riding on the shirt tails of your sale.
That is my opinion and I will stick by it.

I DID NOT mean to offend anybody but him...and Steve if you are reading this
if I were running this list you would have been booted a LOOOOONG time ago
and any comments you want to send to me you can...just keep it off the list,
you waste enough bandwidth as it is now.

Rob please accept my apology...my comments were meant to be tongue in cheek
and to make others think about what Steve has been up to lately and why we
should all be cautious of his sale.

Sincerely,

Mark
