Just want a straight answer? I have always given you straight answers. I
have never NOT given you a straight answer. I have absolutely NOTHING to hide. Ask me any question you want, and I will give you an answer. I think anyone on this list would agree that I have answered all of your interogation very honestly. And you ARE being hostile. "CupCaked" wrote in message ...

So I"m not getting rich! =) What you make now and what yo can make, by (spam)advertising here, by increasing the hit rate, geographic dispersion data, etc, from your paid sponsors is one wholly different income module. In short speak, by coming here, you have exactly attempted to increase your ability to charge more money to your sponsors and/or attract more and better paying sponsorships. Basically, I'm a mom at home with kids, just trying to make a living while also trying to stay home. Just like any other person. I've created a service that I hope will benefit others, while at the same time I hope that perhaps I may make a few dollars from advertisers so that I can make this my job. See above. And in the end I may not. But still, the service is there for others. I"m not trying to be dishonest or deceiving in anyway. I like to travel also, and I like to cruise, and I really see this as a service others could find useful. Appreciate your honesty. RTC only allows certain well loved, ass kissing travel agents the opportunity to spamadvertise without significant grief from RTC "regulars". If you don't find it useful, you don't have to take part. Thanks, L.Hachey. Good luck. Come back anytime. At least you tell the truth.

That's fine, I can see your point, but don't come on here and take out your
hostilites for those sites on me. I have never taken anyone's reports without express written consent. I ask for permission first, and if permission is denied, I don't put it up. And the reports don't become property of my site like on all the other trip report sites out there, they remain the property of the member, so they CAN be removed at any time at the request of the user, within 24 hours of written request by email. L.Hachey www.MyTripReport.com "CupCaked" wrote in message ... "L.Hachey" wrote: YOu are quite hostile. Is there a reason for this? Could I be taking possible customers away from you? I should answer this more completely, so that you understand where I'm coming from. In the past, I've had my own work placed on several commercial cruise web sites without my permission or without my knowledge. It has been extremely difficult getting them removed and dealing with some of the site owners. Now, I regularly scan the major search engines to see if anyone else has posted my work someplace, and I don't know about it. I'm not a hard nose about this. I usually always give permission to non-commercial review sites, as I believe this helps new cruisers, but I bristle at someone making money, however much it is, off my work without letting me know that. I post my reviews on my web site as a convenience and a service to anyone who wants to read them. My site is as non-commercial as you will ever see.

I've created a service that I hope will benefit others, while at the same time I hope that perhaps I may make a few dollars from advertisers so that I can make this my job. And in the end I may not. But still, the service is there for others. I"m not trying to be dishonest or deceiving in anyway. I like to travel also, and I like to cruise, and I really see this as a service others could find useful. If you don't find it useful, you don't have to take part. Thanks, L.Hachey.

Some people are just grouchy. Stick around rec.travel.cruises - you

cruise trip report
"L.Hachey" wrote in message news:%LDoc.461477$oR5.273742@pd7tw3no... Thanks, Chrissy. Of course I do hope to increase my income, as does any person who works in the world, or almost anyone who creates serviceable website. But still at the same time I do intend to offer a service to people. While I understand it's in everyone's nature to be suspicious and leary these days, I'm not "the man" or "the big corporation" out there to suck money out of everyone. I"m just the little guy, trying to earn an honest living like everyone else, working hard trying to do that. The problem is that the RTC charter prohibits exactly that. Go work hard somewhere else. Not here. It's not permitted by charter. --Tom |
