Really? Then what exactly would you call a for-profit, advertising business?

And how are things going for the young Marxist attourneys?

dupek is bitter because he was told to STFU with his race-baiting, anti-immigrant rants and other forms of vitriol.  the argument used was that he was bad for business - this board is about fostering community around the club, not promoting hate.  his juvenile mind only got the "don't do that" part, not the "why" - so in a temper-tantrum, he's going around pointing out other posts that aren't directly contributing to the club's business.  apparently interpretation is too much to ask of him.
 
 i was going to reply to one of his posts with something along these lines, but decided not to give the child any more attention... but since we're on it:
 dupek, you're not that dumb so why are you acting that way?  but don't worry, any second now your juvenile new approach to alienating people will become funny and interesting.  the tide is turning, people are rushing over to your point of view.  you are really sticking it to The Man.
 
 etc etc etc... and yes, he is a twat, an immature one at that.

in an attempt to make this thread interesting: the origin of dupek's nick?
 
 Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
 And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
 Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds, â?? and done a hundred things
 You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung
 High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
 I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
 My eager craft through footless falls of air...
 Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
 I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
 Where never lark, nor eer eagle flew â??
 And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
 The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
 Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
 
 
 is dupek a fan of  WWII poetry?  or a student of one of reagan's most famous speeches?
 
 "How did these lines become so famous? Because they are a classic case of a speechwriter having the appropriate quotation to hand at the right moment. On 28 January 1986, in his TV broadcast to the nation on the day of the space shuttle Challenger disaster, President Reagan concluded: `We will never forget them this morning as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God.'"link

Maybe he should apologize and offer a Polyphonic Spree ticket to the Director, and we can all rave about what a classy guy he is.

you're right, i should have been more careful with my words ... but CL is notorious for not selling out or really caring all that much about profits in the face of enormous commercial opportunities
 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist
 
 As of 2007, Craigslist operates with a staff of 24 people. Its sole source of revenue is paid job ads in select cities ($75 per ad for the San Francisco Bay Area; $25 per ad for New York; Los Angeles; San Diego; Boston; Seattle; Washington D.C.), and paid broker apartment listings in New York City ($10 per ad).
 
 In December 2006, Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster appeared at the UBS Global Media Conference in New York and perplexed Wall Street analysts by telling them Craigslist has little interest in maximizing profit from the website but instead prefers only to help users find cars, apartments, jobs and dates.

dunno, you've been around here long enough - you tell me      :roll:    
 
 sharp sense of observation ya got going there, sport.  that wasn't a reply to my own post, it was a second, independent post.  i made them distinct on purpose, with the intent of making replies easier... replies would be about my explanation of your previous behavior (first post), or about my musings on the poem (second AND UNRELATED post).
