As promised I will answer all the comments.

Restless: Thank you
FlaMac: Thank you
Kyle: an FAQ would be an awesome Idea, as for the newbie cost I will pay for it if it will help stop the arguing who will answer the Questions those who are not bothered by them being asked over and over. I will agree that some of these newbies should stop and look an as I stated should be made to agree to the rules and guidelines before being aloud to post.

Beth: you are right the little orange button DOES have a wealth of information and unfortunately when you are new and don't read the rules you don't know what to do. Some body trains these people and tells them to come here and ask their question, (Kind of like leading the lamb to the slaughter.

SarahBeth CA.: I think your especially deserves an answer of it's own, because my comments are not to encourage newbies to behave as I am at this point in time.

TitleGalCA: To you I send my sincerest apology because I feel YOU are the one with wisdom and knowledge on this board, Not immediately on the attack and yet ready to defend, will answer questions with dignity and don't cut people at the knees for a simple suggestion. Why did I attack Charles for being abrupt and rude with lulu, when she just made a simple suggestion. ANSWER....... Lulu IS my mentor and all my respect goes out to this woman for her knowledge, wisdom, advice and patience. No I am not looking for any fights with anybody, I just try to read, and understand the ways of this Forum/Community.

Glenn: If his was rocket science I would agree with you 100%. Fortunately it is not. I have started, ran made very lucrative Corporations sold them off and moved on to the next in my time. If I was to wait till the end of my days to look back, I probably wouldn't remember half of my experiences.

SueW/Tn: Not once have I under minded the man’s knowledge and without a doubt A great wealth if info. But no need to attack a simple suggestion a simple explanation would have been great.

Teddog_CO: Same reply that SueW/Tn Got.

Beth/MD: Then you can fully appreciate My Stand on this topic. He has given to you probably a Microscopic fraction of what Lulu has given me. You do not appreciate my attacking Charles and neither do I But I especially do not appreciate him attacking my mentor Lulu. Had she posted a dumb question or had been rude or did anything to anybody in this string then I would agree with Charles and let her have it.

This will be my last negative post in this Forum and TitleGalCa I will do my best to try to contribute when I feel I understand how the mentality of this place works.

Until then have a great abundant signing Day

Charles I will apologize to an extent. You do contribute and have the knowledge but there was no need for that attack on Lulu.
I hope you will accept this apology.

It appears that you have caused some pandemonium

I have not had a chance to see what it was that you have a problem with and I may not have time to do so for another few days. I have read some of your posts in the past and I think that you should keep reading this forum before you start to throw stones because I don't think you have the necessary experience to make the comments you have.

You state that you created and sold businesses and have extensive business background. Perhaps you should link to your profile and be prepared to show who you really are. You like many others can say whatever you want, there is no way to prove who you are. I on the other hand have my profile linked to my name. Also you can run my name in Google or any other search engine and you will find who I am. I have started and run a very successful aerospace engineering and contracting businesses, I have been a successful real estate investor and have been licensed to sell real estate commercial only) and to originate loans in California for over 20 years. I also run several other businesses and I am now in the process of incorporating a property and casualty brokerage business into my other real estate business.

I'd like to see what you have done since you are obviously falling back on your prior business experience for credibility.

You say that I attacked Lulu, I believe that you are gravely mistaken. There was no attack on Lulu, only a disagreement. If you consider that an attack you obviously have overrated your business acumen. I have read some of your previous posts and frankly I will not hold my breath that you will contribute anything anywhere near the value of TitleGal, Glenn Strickler, TedDog or any of the other experienced notaries on this site anywhere soon especially considering your mistaken association with the likes of FlaMac.

All in due time.

And as for the aforementioned names I have no disagreement with their ability, knowledge or contribution.

And I have no affiliation with anybody at this point in time.

Re: To paraphrase lulu, the hell with in due time lets get it

Now you are misreading. I do not want this confrontation and I do back down. I have already sent my apology to you in my previous post. I also promised that I would have no more negative comments in this forum.
As for the reply to Lulu I guess there are a million ways to interpret anything and everything.

If you don't want this confrontation, that's fine

One should not make comments one is not ready to defend. And NO, there are not a million ways to interpret everything, that is a philosophy for those who stand for nothing!

I promised myself I wouldn't post again today BUT....

after reading your specific reply to me I got to thinking that perhaps I leapt before I looked so I went back and re-read your mentor's suggestion about a newbie board and more specifically the reply from Charles. Then I read your mentor's reply to Charles and frankly I think your mentor was well out of line jumping in with a chair and a whip cussing and carrying on. Charles didn't say the first thing out of line and he's quietly sitting in the back ground now BUT for the record...LuLu is the one that nuts out. Her language was uncalled for, unprofessional and I actually don't know what got her so upset. Maybe you should go back and read it again....be sure to read both his reply and then her reply to him...you tell me...what's the big deal??? Sheesh

Re: I promised myself I wouldn't post again today BUT....

Thans Sue but I was not sitting in the background. I apreciate what you have said about me but I do not hide. I am on the road since I sell commercial real estate for a living and I had to close a deal in Southern California. I was not aware of a personal attack. I have had a chance to go back and read Lulu's comments and you are right. Lulu took some thing that is fact and turned it around to make it look like a personal attack, it wasn't and you, Sue, obviously understand. I stand by what I said and now that I ahve some time I will be glad to answer in my own stead. I dien't have time to check back and never anticipated that what I said wold be such an affront to the PC crowd. Thanks again Sue and to everyone else who saw this stupidity for what it was!

Re: I promised myself I wouldn't--actually Charles...

If the post that is the impetus of this riot was the one about pecking order, I definitely need to put a few cents in on that dog, as well.

I'll get to it tonight I hope...it's been slightly nightmarish here I have been doing the "tough love" thing with my computers. I will be so glad when they outgrow this stage!

They are at that awkward age where they are very aware of what the other computers are wearing...the colors they are sporting...the more expensive Coach and Kenneth Cole bags they see the other notebooks / handhelds transported in. Don't even get me started on those newest ones with the write-on screen....mine are green with envy over that but, of course, they nearly break their little monitor hinges to get a look at them every time one comes within view...and it actually happens more than you'd think. My "boy" (who will be 25 tomorrow) and his gf have them...and the nicer bags to tote them around in.

When they were young...I remember that I had a few occasions to remove their cover, increase their memory to its limit...even disconnect the CMOS battery when it's called for......these days I cannot even go into my own office if they are defragging themselves. One of them will totally shut down --very passive aggressive. The other will just slow down to a crawl.

As soon as it's time for the scan of their little hard drives they want complete privacy...no key tapping or playing "Mousie, Mouse-Mouse" with all of that going on.

Rules for these guys will be forthcoming...they think they are soooooo smart. I have lost my patience!!

Oh, come on now, that's not a good reason. I got into it to fill the gap between 55 and 591/2 when I can get to my IRA's without tax penalties, plus I have too many ex-wives. Be honest, I just was.

Ok Truth be told.

I am being honest lol. My comment to you was not meant as a retaliation I was only commenting on you reply to the bashing. At age 18 I started a restaurant business and grew to a small corporation with six locations, Sold them off. Computer engineering, and networking, Landscape design computer programming, Web design, and last but not least Construction. All were very good business, sold the Construction company last October That had a gross revenue of.......... I guess it is not important but had 35 employees, And now I am relaxing for a while. I will probably get back into the web design as it was the least of my headaches, Other than 1 ex-wife of course. I really do intend on becoming a good boy in here and do not wish to cause anybody anymore griefe.

Take care Glenn.
And have good eve.

LuLu has you on the right track. Always consider the source

when reading about business info and ideas. Then do some research. If you look at some of these people's profiles; it's not hard to figure out where thier motivation comes from..considering thier background and the fact that they are also acting as signing agents.

Re: LuLu has you on the right track. Always consider the source

Flacmac...it's good to see that you've curbed your freely given mis-information, illegal practices and have gone down to minimal advice giving since the community has gone through great lengths to point out your errors.
However, everything that you post lately is attacking everyone that has corrected you and going to the defense of anyone whom has been corrected or offered advice. So, if you stop with your little nonsense posts, you'll have nothing to contribute and eventually hopefully, you'll go away.
No one here ever posts anything positive about what you say, get the hint already. All you do is try to start conflict, get a life.

I went back and read Charles post so I could understand your point. I just couldn't see your point?
Charles was expressing his point of view. As was Lulu.
This is a public forum and we are all allowed to express our thoughts. You risk the chance of someone responding to with an attack but you also risk that someone will help you with a problem or teach you something you didn't know.

I don't like to read all the BS on here myself (and I have posted some of it to be fair) but I have never thought all these people posting to try and change the way others post is correct. It's public and we all can post our thoughts. That is my point.

Beverly,

You are so correct. This is a public forum and anyone can post as they please. I do not like some of the things I see either. Mean spirited or just looking for trouble, God only knows what their problem is. With so many different personalities you just have to expect it.
My suggestion is when you see some of these posts "Do Not Respond" you are only feeding their egos' or lack there of. Just think about it, what kind of person would post some of the venom we have seen on this site.

I come to this site just to see what other people have to say (excluding the Junk) what their opinions are. For the most part the people that post have very valuable information and great sense of humor. So I just choose the read the positive posts. For the folks that are posting to "get a rise" out of people , Sorry I'm not taking the bait.
