Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

Man, I'm glad you guys chimed in. Today the Fed cut the prime rate. That leaves more money in the consumer's pocket. It allows for more credit too. It was just what the doctor ordered.

A newbie entering this biz to build a site can't start without a worthy investment. In my case I draw my content. No one to pay. Just gimme some Starbucks and Robek's and I'm good to go.

The cost of memberships should be within reach but not too much. If it's too easy, it makes the surfer feel like it ain't worth it. If it's too high the surfer feels standoffish, if it's high but reasonable then you get the bite and attract affiliates. I'm rebuilding my affiliate program. I have to listen to the webmasters and customers. Come to a meeting of the minds so to speak.

When the Ameicans cut prime, usually their dollar should drop relative to other currencies. I'm hoping that doesn't happen this tiime around because it was the only sensible thing to do on their part. I'm just looking forward to Bush getting the bums rush so all you folks south of the border can have a better economy and I can get better exchange rates

Usually rate cuts take about 18 months to show any effect on consumers. Rate cuts can't do anything about the massive borrowing that we've been doing to boot our economy. 6 years of borrowing money without investing in infrastructure is taking its toll.

What's happening now is just the beginning. Get ready for a couple of tough years.

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless
