Actually Jenny I was ONLY quoting your own statements BACK, so I did not make any assumptions, you may want to read back your own emails to avoid contradictions like this. A little friendly advice, If you want your business to be private and think it is not anyone else's business what you do, then a good idea would be don't post it on a public list, and certainly don't brag about it, otherwise you are opening it up for discussion, that is after all the purpose of a discussion list. I realise some people don't have much money, but as the only thing I have offered is free advice I don't think that is relevant to this topic as at no point have I tried to sell anyone anything to anyone. As for my needing more experience and age, LOL, I wont try to brag as you did, but you may want to take your own advice about making assumptions there. NUFF SAID!
