Suckers born every minute

[Kaos]

I occasionally stray over to other areas to see what topics are bouncing around.  I realized something today on the stupid AUUndercover board. People there (and I guess at ITAT, too) to talk to each other.  There are six and seven page threads where every comment is hidden and none of the people talking know anything of value at all.  They're just babbling their own worthless opinions, baseless theories, petty gripes and poorly-worded fiffle farfle. 

Who in their right mind would pay to have access to that regurgitated walrus phlegm?  I can sort of see hiding comments from paid journalists or something so you'd have to pay a little bit (I never would) to read their stuff, but just run of the mill idiots posting their half-baked burble behind a pay wall and other flatlining slugs forking out cash to read what eagleDWar, gantau and stevo180 have to say?  That's lunacy.

"regurgitated walrus phlegm" and "poorly-worded fiffle farfle", you do know it's off season right? Oh yea, and I never pay for shit like that.

I have said from the beginning, the $15.95 check I send GF every month is by far a better deal than any of those other places with the fiffle farfle but I don't say fiffle farfle every time I tell the story.

Dammit!  I knew he was screwing me!

Better yet -

How many people would want to pay $14.99 or whatever it is now to hear what Phillip Marshall, Bryan Matthews, and J Hokanson have to say?

I was a subscriber to a pay site for one month. Everything I got there had I waited five minutes was either here or on the Montgomery Advertiser's site quickly (back with Jay G. Tate ran it). So, I cancelled.

And then I had to try and cancel it again every month when paying my credit card bill. Nine months later I'm still trying to cancel that and finally have to go through my card provider to issue me a new number so I stop getting charged for it. Oh, and forget refunding me any of that back payments.

So, yeah, screw that.

The don't let it go on 9 months process brother.  Use it.

Did. Card company said I would have to prove I didn't use the site during that time. Not sure how to do that since I didn't want to login and ask a mod for said proof.

For the record, this was 4 years ago. I was relating the story to prove the point that pay sites are not really worth it. Not from my point of view. Also, from what I've read online, my story is not unique. I just happened to be one of the ones who watches my transactions and such like a hawk. Not that it did me a lot of good recovering that $90 or anything. Lesson learned.

If the Scout board in question had offered such, I might not have cancelled.

Of course, who else would run around in costumes and a mask.
