Hey Wed7pm, haven't seen you on Hubski in a while and I'm not sure you'll even see this but I told you I'd keep you informed on the project I'm trying to implement that could potentially raise millions of dollars for children in need. Today was a big victory as I was finally able to pitch the product to C level people at the company. It went well, it's taken a lot to get to this point and I imagine there is still a long road to go yet. But thanks again. I used references from the Keith Payne article you linked me to.

Well done, you! That's great news. And thanks for the update.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I sent a follow up email to the person leading the team that has the ability to say "yes" or "no" and used the Stalin Quote: When one person dies it's a tragedy; when a million die it's a statistic". -Not sure if quoting Stalin was the best idea.... ;p

Glad you're still around. Re-followed!

We should be thanking Kurt Tucholsky for that "Stalin" quote: http://www.hubski.com/pub?id=3818 Poor Mr Tucholsky deserves his day in the sun.

I'm not really around, sorry; just dropping by :)

Thank you for the correction. Always nice seeing you here, even if only briefly.

Take care!
