Your website is a ******* joke. 81 visitors? Get the pic? You are a scumbag buddy. Wow! Charging vets for email. What kind of sick joke is that? I am going to pass around your name and tell them the BS you are pushing out.

You are free to do whatever you like, George. Actually, with your language, I wouldn't want you using my service anyway. I would never talk to any fellow vet as you have to me. If you want something for nothing, that's your choice. If you think that everyone owes you freebies because you served, that, too, is your choice. I don't. I'm trying to get something started that will help me, my family and my fellow vets. I'll tell you what, though. I'll put your note on the web site. You should feel extremely proud of yourself.

As for the lack of visits, I haven't had the time to get other sites to link to me. I'd say the number of visits isn't that bad considering there's only one place on the entire internet where it is mentioned.

I have to pay for this somehow. This isn't free. The moment I get 400 subscribers I have to start paying even more and I have to buy a license for the software. You want to blame someone for my having to charge, blame all the companies I've written to asking them to advertise on the .info domains. They all profess to support veterans but not one can cough up a tiny bit of money that would provide all of us with free e-mail accounts.

Scumbag pal. Pure trash. Take your service and shove it up your ***. I am a purple heart recipient and never charged a vet for such a stupid meager thing such as yours.
