Attention PENNYPINCH

quote: Originally posted by pennypinch: MaggieOK, ugly, and a couple of others post most of the free crappy stuff noone wants, so you can just skip over their names most of the time Thanks a lot, pennypinch. Ungrateful bastards like you make me sick. Perhaps Maggie and I should both stop posting altogether. I bet the two of us are much more productive and succesful at finding and posting great deals than you are. I'm sure the members of this board would agree. Perhaps you should be more careful with your statements in the future. __________________ Oh, and by the way Pennypinch, which free crappy posts of mine did you hate most? Could it be the free CDs, the free t-shirts, the free food, the free Biowire Laser Pointer, the free $90 Picnic Backpack (from Nissan), the free $50 GC (from Oldsmobile), or maybe the free pair of Motorola Talkabout radios (from Buick)? The list goes on and on...not to mention the numerous coupon code posts as well (dSports, B&N, buy.com, etc). And I, for one, greatly appreciate Maggie's posts and do not consider them to be crap at all. You have taken the joy out of visiting this site, Pennypinch. This used to be a friendly place where people could unselfishly share good deals and provide requested information/assistance to others. I really hope there are no others on this site like you. __________________ Agreed, don't take what pennypinch said ugly. I'm sure the majority are behind me when I say that you and Maggie are greatly aprreciated. Heh, I really like that little laser pointer I got the other day . ------------------ And at band camp. . . http://www.geocities.com/bandtour99 __________________ Dang I disappear for a couple of days and everyone is at each others throats now. But seriously...Penny you need to take a chill pill man. Ugly and Maggie do find some VERY good deals. Ugly has pulled some great freebies from all around. He listed some of them above. Maggie has always posted great deals. I myself love the mypoints links she has a nack of finding. To Ugly and Maggie...keep up the good work. ~NiceMann __________________ Thanks guys. Oh...and that laser pointer goes like 2-3 blocks. Unbelievable! __________________ I agree with all, I am truly contrite for some very hastily typed comments (a function, I'm sure, of typing while at work). I'd like to apologize for characterizing your posts as crappy; they certainly, as your second post elucidates, are not only samples of nair or pet weight loss programs. I don't even know if those were yours, but by "crappy", I meant freebies of the smaller variety, as opposed to normal gift certificates or deals of the more conventional variety. Please accept my sincerest apologies: there was no ill will inteneded at all to any of the three of you. I would take issue with one statement. I am not a sole reason that some of the joy of visiting this board has disappeared. I've been here for close to a year now, and have really seen a market transformation. I can't put my finger on it. Perhaps it is fond recollection viewed through rosy coloured glasses, but I remember a better time. Again, sorry. __________________ Maybe its just me, but I think all this hate is coming out because its getting "crowded" in the forums. There's about 2600 members now! ------------------ And at band camp. . . http://www.geocities.com/bandtour99 __________________ No problem, Pennypinch. All of us tend to have our off posts! lol I know I did awhile back! But yeah, I agree that things have changed in here with deals and all. Last Christmas (Dec. 99) I was able to buy X-mas gifts for all of my family and my husband's family for about $50. Not too bad! Now, there seems to be an abundance of free t-shirts, and some $$ off coupons for high minimum purchase. I'm betting a lot of that is due to companies wising up, but... Anyway, just my 2 cents! __________________ Yeah, spidey, and I've noticed that a lot of members are new - in the last two weeks. I actually noticed an increase of over 50 members one day! I don't know if "hatred" can be attributed to lots of people, though! Look, so long as we aim to avoid Anandtech-ness, we'll be okay. Maybe it won't be exactly like before, but that's not always neccessarily bad or wrong. __________________ My gosh! ugly and MaggieOK - I love your deals keep them on! __________________ hehhe,.... one post for the road...
