I cordially invite you all to view my "shell people" at
http://www.terrysbeachhouse.com , if you have a few minutes.

These are my own creations, and might put a smile on your face, and you
might even find a very ! unique gift for a loved one too !.

Please no spam......  I'm not a business, just a guy who makes these
collectables in his spare time, and thought you might enjoy them

And they're tacky.

And if they were live-collected, a pox on you.

diving !!!

VERY FUNNY

Keep up the good work

OH YEH BOB........  BIG HUGE BUSINESS HERE....... !!!!!!

a web page that was just put online last week, because my friends
talked me into it, and some grease monkey that makes these things in
his free time, after busting knuckles everyday.

OH YEH  Bob..... I''m in the top 10 on Forbes alright !!!

Sorry you took offence, to me "cordgially" inviting everyone to take a
look, if they had time

I could give a rats a.s, if I EVER sell one....... if you were paying
attention, that wasn't the idea of the original post at all.

And ya know what else Bob.... I "really" thought, that some of you
scuba diver's might actually enjoy owning one of these........ but do
the math.......  They all ship FREE (about 10 bux each with packing )
The shell's cost me time / or money to aquire.  Building them can take
2 or 3 hours each ....... and then the cost of the web page itself

I figgure I'll make about enough profit, to buy a cheap six pack of
beer on each if I sell one 'em.

Have a real Merry Chrismas Bob

Yet you could have still done all that, simply without ever putting the
price tags on.

and *if* they had any market value, you'd receive unsolicited offers
from someone other than your sockpuppet buddy 'beachbum'.

If your claim were true, then there would never have been any price
tags.

> if you were paying attention, that wasn't the idea of the original post at all.

If you had any credibility here, you might be cut a break.

However, you simply don't have any credibility here: your initial
rating of "zero" has already been driven into the negative by the
stupid things you've already said.

It is clear, however, that you won't really be making any money, since
your actions are a phenominally stupid way to try to run a business:
since Google is archiving all of this,  future potential customers will
quickly find that "terrysbeachhouse.com" is a domain that condones
spamming and has a very rude owner/operator.

Good luck repairing your reputation - - and when trying to place blame,
just remember that you did it all to yourself.

> And  .... I "really" thought, that some of you
> scuba diver's might actually enjoy owning one of these...

Which merely just goes to show that you didn't *think*, having not
bothered to research your target demographic before sticking your foot
in your mouth.

>  ..... but do the math.......

We have done the math.

The math says that if just diveshops were allowed to post an ad here -
- at a rate of just one time per month - - and if only 5% of them
actually chose to do so - - it would result in roughly 1300 spams here
... every ... single ... day.

The general average daily volume is less than 100 posts per day, so the
result would be that the group would consist of 7% content and 93%
advertising.  Yummy.
