          It told me I'm worth half what I make being self-employed. I work twice as hard being self-employed but am 4 times happier than when I was an employer. My employer was 1/2 as happy after I left as before. My wife is twice as happy I'm home now. I'm happy I now have time to go work out and exercise. So I guess... I'm not worth as much as I want to be. Having a job sucks. There's no price you could put on a family. That's a stupid site anyways now I'm just confused.:-D


          My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered process, husband to a murdered thread. And I will have my affinity, in this life or the next. - Gladiator. (Okay, not quite Gladiator but close.) I work to live. I do not live to work. My clients do not seem capable of grasping this fact. Ancient of days! august Athena! where, Where are thy men of might? - Lord Byron

            A girl asked me to be Napoleon once. I found out there's only so many things you can do when one hand is tucked inside your tunic. (And that hat was stupid!)

                Because then you would leave immediately. This way, you have already made an investment in time and are more likely to sign up. It's by design.

                          Are you related to that idiot with whom I was exchanging barbs in the soapbox? I was throwing barbs, he was using Indianglish to respond, and that just made him look like a freak. If you're the same person, you look even more like an idiot for logging in with a different ID to post exactly the same thing.

                                you didn't see that coming? How many times have you plowed through all of the advertising web pages in the hope of a free XBox? :)

                                  But I might be tempted to go back at a later point when I have more time - the likelihood of me EVER returning to that site is, well, nil. If there was a warning, then I'd be tempted to bookmark and no doubt stumble upon it later. To me this way of doing things is pretty much just blatant information harvesting. But then I guess that's how some people make their money...all power to em, but they're guaranteed to annoy me if they do it...it's their call hehe!

                                    you didn't see that coming? How many times have you plowed through all of the advertising web pages in the hope of a free XBox? :)

                                    Well I've never been quite THAT dumb, and the sheer number of "Required Fields" made me suspicious - it's not that I wasn't expecting it, I was just disappointed that they'd done it....

                                      :) hey, not giving you a hard time. I just received an invitation to go look at fractional ownership vacation condos in Orlando, Fl. Us schmucks call these time-shares. All I have to do is listen to one 90 minute presentation, and I must bring my spouse or other individual with whom I have a long term relationship (thought: bring my kids?:):)). I was tempted for about 10 mSec. Ever see the South Park where all the parents go to see the timeshare for skiing and the kids go skiing... the parents are held hostage....

                                        IIRC the last time I was playing around on with that sort of site on the web, that one was about 20% higher than the numbers I saw anywhere else. I don't know if it was just a GIGO problem, or they were using too large of areas to bin their data in since the number it gave wouldn't've been too far out of line for someone working in Pittsburgh (~75mi away), cost of living and the resultant payscale are significantly lower here.

                                        -- CleaKO The sad part about this instance is that none of the users ever said anything [about the problem]. Pete O`Hanlon Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know about users?
