Do you mean they charge no interest on transferred balance, only on new charges, since you switch to their card?
correct. I had one with a $5,000 balance that I just couldn't get paid off because of the interest rate. I applied for another with a -0- interest rate for 12 months on balance transfers and paid it off. Even better, the card was a signature card for an airline and they had a promotion going that added 25,000 miles to their travel program, essentially giving me a free airline ticket to boot.
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
I've never even heard of such a thing before. I haven't been able to affirm this yet, but it is very unlikely that it would be legal under our new National Credit Act, as it may promote credit.

:laugh: It would help if you told him the truth norm. Perhaps you'd like to repost the content of your message to Tim? Alternatively I can extract it from my browser cache if you aren't so inclined. You remember it, it's the one I reported.
Or lets go google caching and find the abuse comments we all made to Henize, oh you and oakman seem to have forgotten, again hypocrite, ok the last post now. I suggest you grow up and get a job you're spending for too much time on CP and contributing absolutly FA.

norm's trying to get himself banned, I guess. Not sure what his motivation is though. :shrug:

:laugh: That's rich. I've always been nice to Josh and never once called for his banning on this site. You might want to try being honest.

Yeah, I kind of have a job and while I'm at that job I don't spend my employer's time surfing coding websites calling for the abolishment of forums and the banning of other members - unlike other people around here. If you're through trying to justify your immature actions by fabricating accusations and insulting others that's fine by me.

credit is a bit too easy to get here in the US of A. sort of explains, albeit indirectly, the recent "mortgage crisis".

I suspect that it isn't difficult for him at all. As soon as he gets us both banned and SB closed down, he'll start working on it.

How is that comedy? You've lobbied for both the banning of Josh and the elimination of the Soapbox. Did you delete those messages too?

What I find comedic is that he wanted Soapbox closed down, because of nasty personal attack posts like the ones he made to Heinze. . . .Unless of course, he's deleted them, too. Something else he's deleted is the link to his company's website in his profile. Wonder why?

no argument what so ever. everyone feels entitled to an iPOD, iPhone, LCD or plasma TV, wheels that spin, and the list goes on. we've a real consumer (and entitled) society.

Of course it is! We could say that the last three Administrations have gutted the Armed Services, sold our future to China and given our border to Mexico. Now that would be a world too terrible to contemplate.

No problemo. You will never find a post of mine where I have claimed that I was anything but confrontational and/or patronizing when I posted to Heinze. I disliked his effect on SB intensely, and I am glad his behavior got to the point where Chris called out the big guns. You on the other hand seem to want to atttack any- and every-one for any reason -- real or imagined -- using language nasty enough to get you reported, and then demand S.B. be shut down because of the inflamatory posts in there. :confused:

What happened to Josh anyways? I was away for quite a few days... Anyhoo, I think someone who sets themselves a goal to have people banned and forums closed down is immature. The responsible thing to do is to report offending posts to the relevent place and try to handle things in a mature fashion. For those posts that annoy to the point of name-calling the best thing to do is to ignore them and move on. The self-policing policy can work slowly, but it's usually the best solution. Chris can't be everywhere at once and the majority of members here dislike nonsense behaviour. Norm, however, seems to like throwing stones from glass houses.

He figured out that if he used big and little html tags around "leckey" the filter used to catch duplicates wouldn't wake up. He then posted with her username and some of his usual vileness not only here but in the Lounge and Suggestions. That pissed Chris off and he said he was contacting his lawyers. I think there are cases where a "user" is attacking the entire concept of a communities forum. He doesn't want to participate, only to destroy. In cases like that, I think a webmaster has a right, or even a duty, to protect his property. But that's not the same thing as one user demanding the webmaster ban another.

You bet your bippee - but I doubt it'll cost more'n $100 Cdn for a lawyer's letter and I imagine that will be all it takes. It's not as if a fry cook's pay is enough to hire a laweyr in return.
