sandy k, you are going to give up that easy? do you realize that the true visionaries in life don't give a "rip" what people think. they forge ahead no matter what. i cannot tell you how many times that people have tried to derail me from the things that i knew i had to do. if i would have listened to "just one" of them i would have never reached my destination. my life has quite a few of those stories. it is why i call myself visiondude. i sometimes know what my destiny is before it happens, and adjust my life TOWARDS it.
sometimes when i share that "vision", i get laughed at. but i have ALWAYS had the last laugh. not in a self-righteous way, but the satisfaction that i knew i was right when others thought that i was wrong. there is nothing or no one that can or will derail me from my "destination".
before i finish with you, i am going to defend old hank. old hank is a friend of mine and i have spent enough time around him to know his motivation and character. while old hank is not afraid to stir the pot, he is not malicious. and there was no way that he was attacking you. just asking legitimate questions about the functionality of your new site. it was not directed at you to warn people against going to your site. if anything he was offering suggesstions that would enable everyone to do what you have intended - share numbers. while offering a very wise suggesstion that would enable people to protect thier system from piracy. no malicious intent !!
no back to you. i am not going to mix word's with you. straight up. you are too thin skinned. you let people rattle your cage too easily. if someone ask's a question of you or straight out questions you get all out of sorts. knock it off and quit acting like everyone should be kissing up to you. that comment you made about "what you have" was way out of line. while i do not agree with you on all points, still i know that you are a good person and you are trying to help others. todd doesn't seem to have a problem with what you are doing because it will have a different "twist." it does not directly (as i understand it) compete with lottery post.
i don't know where your inspiration for your new site came from, but if you let it die over a mis-understanding then you are bound to mis out on alot of oppurtunities in life. i remember reading a post of yours along time ago about your sister. how you and her were different in your personalities. you explained in the post how she often times just "rolls over" and doesn't stand up for herself. you wished that she would. right now, you are acting like her. you are folding up our tent and going home.
don't give up just yet. quit your wineing and get back to your "vision". if you need to take another poll to see if there is enough interest in order to insure that there is enough interest in order to make it worth your "while", then do that. this is not a full endorsement by me of anyone that claims that they can "predict". but what i like about you is that you are trying to help others. you "share" numbers. i do not have a problem with people who share, only those that claim they have the answer to beat the lottery. you don't do that, you share. i have never seen anywhere where you have taken advantage of anyone. since that is one of my pet peeves, if i "smelled" that you had, i would have been all over you as well.
you need to do three things.
1) get over yourself. "visions" are not about YOU. there are about you being used to benefit others
2) kiss and make up with old hank and pick3 fairy. neither one of them mean't you malice. actually you owe them an apology for mis-understanding THEM.
3) do your "homework" and if there is enough interest, get back to work. if you wait for the affirmation of people in order for you to succeed in life, you are already bound for failure.
someday i will give you a "rundown" of all the things that i told people was going to happen vs. thier opposition to my plans and all that has added up to in my life. if you know that it is right, see it to the end. even if when you get there you are the only one. i have great success (not monetarily) in my life because i stuck to the vision. the oppositons have grossly outweighed the support. for me, there is more to come. working on one now as we speak. put your pride in your back pocket, you have work to do. much love,
