Default Re: Why I Left RD Forums
I think that's why all of us were so surprised. He was speaking to a room full of people whose success was, in part, due to the internet. Some of the folks in that room were pulling in hundreds of thousand of dollars from the 'net.

But again, I gotta give the guy credit for sharing his feelings on this w/us-- he was really trying to help ("Hey, if you want to move ahead, look at what I do, and stop wasting time on the internet!").

He told us this stuff b/c he cared.

So while I didn't much like what I heard, or how he felt about the internet, I do appreciate that he cared about us enough to share these things w/us.
