Fact is, we both made some mistakes. I agree, that posting his $$ was out of line and frankly out of character for me. I feel a little backed into a corner on this $5 check thing and reading his post really set me off. In his defense, he's no liar, he had some terrible months back in July/Aug last year. But in my defense, the last several months have been MUCH better.

I can discuss the merits and downsides of checks endlessly but lets face it, I'm not locking any one's money up. I am providing options and listening to suggestions. So far everyone seems caught up in the amount, not the principle.

How else do you get people off checks? They are not a good way to deliver funds. They are constantly lost or stolen, washed and illegally re-deposited for tens of thousands, misplaced, etc. . . . With epass (even though it initially costs more for me to send) it saves a lot of problems in the back end.

That is why I offered (at my cost) to create an epass account for ANYONE who needs one.

Glad we had that chat Mayor.

For any part I played in jacking this thread from its intent, my apologies. We all know numbers fluctuate with programs and some affiliates do better than others...it's the nature of this business. I really didn't mean for my post to denigrate the program or kick in Mayors program protection mode.

As to the checks issue, I still think $5 is exhorbidant...that's my perception. I understand your goal is to get people off checks, but the reality is a lot of folks still prefer checks...myself included. For one thing, it makes revenue tracking on my end easier.
