Yup. Not looking for a fast buck at all. Your last sentence is right on. Lou

Dipshit. As I’ve noted elsewhere, *I* read your first post as meaning you have a friend with a sister-in-law, and the friend wants to help the sister-in-law earn some income. It’s *your* obligation to write clearly; it’s not our responsibility to try to figure out what you thought you were saying. — Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed "I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God; you just rejected him from your city. And don’t wonder why he hasn’t helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I’m not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that’s the case, don’t ask for his help because he might not be there." ~~ Pat Robertson "The 700 Club"

Has MS. Can not walk without a walker. Was a sales type. Seems reasonably bright. I do not think the actual money is the real need. Its more of helping his head. I do not even know if he is much of a computer guy, but I have time to teach. Was hoping some of the regulars would have some ideas. Yes I know about Don’s site, but am not sure if it applies. Does anyone think he could write up a guide to leasing / buying trucks (which is the industry he was in)? Does anyone in here have experience using a blog to generate interest in "products"? Thanks for asking. Lou

With most guys the abbreviation for sister-in-law is MILF.

I read it as "sister-in-law" also, so it’s apparently not a gay thing at all. It just a matter of someone who doesn’t write clearly but thinks other folks should be able to intuit what he really meant to say with his acronym. — Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed "I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God; you just rejected him from your city.

You don’t write any better than you quote, sonny. *I* read your first post as meaning you have a friend with a sister-in-law, and the friend wants to help the sister-in-law earn some income. But the biggest issue here is that the comment "probably make more than any man doing the same job!" is a spin-off from a joke. Of course, if you’d actually lurked here a while before stopping by to insult folks you’d have known that and you would look merely like an asshole, instead of a stupid asshole. — Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed "I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God; you just rejected him from your city.

Cvaig "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt" Mark Twain Sorry, honey, but quoting Clemens won’t help you at all; you’d already indicated a certain level of stupidity with your original question. Think about it logicall for a minute: would you call up a bunch of folks who shop at, oh, Sears, for instance, and ask them for tips on how to start a store? There’s nothing easy or instant about selling on eBay if you plan to make a profit. It takes a lot of work, a good deal of trial and error, and most of all, it takes having some marketing knowledge of *something* so you can sell successfully. There’s a wealth of information available at eBay’s <help options. Look it over. There’s additional information here, but you have to put some time and effort into actually *reading* the posts here for a while. Your first post here sounded as if you want *us* to do all the legwork for you so you can tell your friend how helpful you’ve been. Frankly, I think a little more humility and a lot less smart-ass would help your next posting here. [ ... ]
Appreciate the info comments. The OP was straight up. The first two replies were flames and totally uncalled for.
You’re not used to posting on usenet groups, right? No one owes you a fucking thing, including an answer to any question you might have, and I can absolutely guarentee that you have not yet been flamed by anyone in this group. If you think the responses you received were flames, you’re in for a really big shock. — Ty Who is mostly just a slightly skewed Donna Reed "I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God; you just rejected him from your city.
