He claimed the awards weren't about making money, and the people who do the reviews are volunteers. BUT he charged a fee, something like $295 and the submitter would be handed a review of their web site with usability charts etc. When I asked him if he was a not-for-profit after his claim of the organization being strictly volunteer driven, he said they weren't "officially" a non-profit organization with the proper filings. Which led me to think, where exactly does that $295 go if the people producing the review weren't being paid :) I've got a pretty sensitive and reasonably accurate internal B.S. meter and he gave off a sizable signal.

It's both catchy and true. I didn't mean to bring education into this .. few have less than I .. dropped out of High School , went to college but didn't really come close to finishing, etc. But you're aprogrammer as well as a man with proven skills in very tricky and arcane subjects. You didn't learn most of what you know about making on line money from any formal eduation ... essentially, there isn't any. You learned the hard way just how much difference even one semicolon can make in a line of code, or one improper capitalization. It's no big thing, really, there is a place, their shows possession and they're (they are) refers to people. When I went _there_, to _their_ web site I found that _they're_ a bunch of hosers. But hey, until I can make one tenth the money you're making, maybe I should type it "there" all the time too ;-) Best regards Dave It is a darn good blog post title … let’s see who uses it first.

I never get upset. Nobody ever learns anything from a compliment! (hey that might be a good title for a future blog post) I think my lack of formal education shows really bad sometimes =(

Thanks for sharing so much. But could you just check one thing ... please look closely at how you use 'there'? In some paragraphs you use 'there' when you mean 'there' and 'their' and 'they're', even all in the same post. It makes it very hard to follow your thoughts at times ... and for anyone who isn't a native English speaker it must be horrific.
