Sorry, guys, but in reality, I find this almost too impossible to believe. Sounds to me like we are being set up here.

Maybe. Yet, I'll go with the flow anyway since I'm not affected in the least.

I assure you it's enitrely legit; there is no punchline here. $2k isn't really that much, but its enough to make it funny.

It might not be over there, but thats more than I gat paid in a month over here. So to me $2k to stop posting is a big deal, and probably fake.

His last post on the site was....

Quote:
My Last Post Ever!

As per my financial agreement with ***, in exchange for $2000 I have agreed to never post on the (site) again. This is an agreement I intend to fully honor.

I wish to say farewell to not only my few supporters but also to my far larger number of detractors on the site. Without you, my Bush-bashing would not have nearly as much fun as it was.
...
As far as the money goes, I'll most likely blow it on some silly toys for either me, my wife, or my (car).

That about sums it up and I'm outta here!

Well, now I know it HAS to be false. Anyone that says 2K isn't really that much can't be telling the truth.

Scale of economics.... it may very well be alot to you (and others), but to some it isn't.

2k isn't really alot of money when you think about it. It's a considerable ammount to just get handed to you or to just waste. Though if you can't retire of the ammount, then really it isn't THAT much money. I've done coding jobs for that much before. After paying my rent, phone, insurance, light bill and NET bill. I was broke again.

Though I sure wouldn't mind someone handing me 2k for nothing!
