ANONYMOUS MORONS!
Open letter to all the “Anonymous MORON’S out there!
We who are not anonymous really do “CONSIDER THE SOURCE”!!
How SMART does one have to be to get a free, “VIRTUALLY ANONOYMOUS” email (like yahoo, hotmail, etc.) account?
If you are AFRAID to back up your ‘statements’ why not do that?
What?! You are paying Harry to be on this board (under your ‘real’ name or your company’s name) and are too cheap to buy another account? Just to remain ANONOYMOUS?
Like the person that MUST remain anonymous because they “Rum a large successful SS" but can't own up to what they say?” Well Hey! If you are two afraid to identity yourself, and too cheap to spend a couple of bucks for a ‘hidden’ membership, do you think anyone that is out there WORKING really cares what you say?
I thought this board was for working people in this 'industry' to share opinions, and information? To try and HELP each other? I personally have learned much, and found many 'members' to be helpful.
To all those who are unafraid to voice their opinions, I applaud you!
Hey! Harry!
Maybe you can give these poor, stupid, bored people that have nothing better to do, (or really don’t want to have their boss’s know they are wasting time on this board when they should be working) a special discount? I for one would be willing to PAY say, $1.00 more for my membership, to be put in a fund to give these the poor anonymous morons out there, a ‘discount entertainment membership’ just so the rest of us don’t have to see this stupid anonymous crap anymore.
What say you?

Re: Okay Les_CO... what did I miss?
I just find all these lazy, stupid, anonymous posters very trying. They contribute nothing, and for the most part just take up space. This is NOT for those that just wandered on to this board for the first time,and are actually seeking information. This was just for the simple "posers" out there.
I finally got my 6:30 PM doc's and I'm out the door for my 4PM Just two on this last day...but that's enough the way I feel today!

Les !
You know Les, I'm sure that because of the tone of this board (often) that many newbies or even some long-time board visitors just don't feel comfortable posting with their real name any more. This board has changed A LOT.
Posting anon probably just allows some to vent or say what they really feel at the time without the consequence of being sworn at personally (often here on this board) or called names (often again) or told their spelling sucks (yup, often) or told they need to learn their state's notarial laws, or they are now often forced to sift thru all the unmarked OT that no one else understands or benefits from (from a notary law/learning standpoint). Friendships are great but a lot of what I read here should be on the chat or just communicated directly thru emails.
I agree that there are definitely some that just post anon to get their jollys, but when you reply in kind... with rage like you did, didn't they get what they wanted? Power perhaps, power over you? Just a thought , but I wouldn't know for sure because like you, I always use my real name and stand fast for the bullets and the darts, always looking at the source, always knowing I'm not standing alone.
I think the way this board has evolved has created the culture of anon posters. Really, with some of the replies that the regulars post, I don't blame them. I always recommend my students READ because once you get thru all the OT and personal stuff, there is a lot one can learn -- but I never recommend they post; I warn them about posting, especially here.
GAWD, was that advertising?

Re: Les !
I never post anon, and I ain't scared to let people and lowball SS's know what I think. I'm begining to think that the NNA is advertising Notary Rotary as the place for all newcomers.

It's not just all about the Low-Ball ss's Lawrence
Athough I didn't think of that because I no longer work for signing companies. I've been signing Full-Time for 8 years and I really do believe it's the hostile atmosphere on some boards Lawrecnce.
Of course since I teach, it's important that we attend other vendor's classes to make sure we're on the right track and make improvements, see what's new, etc. Since I just attended the NNA Loan Signing Class Live Seminar in November, I can attest that they do not recommend anyone but NNA- provided supplies and products, and they recommended all of that OFTEN during the entire seminar, every chance they could get. They really pushed their NSA membership as well. Nothing about anyone else - Really.

Re: It's not just all about the Low-Ball ss's Lawrence
I will work for any company that offers a reasonable and fair fee. In my opinion, $50 fees are not only unreasonable and unfair, they are lowball. My attitude toward the NNA is also well known on this and other boards. They have either forgotton the principal of why they were originally founded or just don't give a d**n.

Re: Les !
I apologize for the percepted "rage". I really don't feel any 'rage'. Annoyance would better define my feelings. BUT, Some of these 'comments' really are boring, stupid, childish, witless, and not even entertaning. I guess it goes with the terratory? Chat Rooms? However, some of us are here to lean from... glean what we can... from our peers, and perhaps enlighten others. My comments were addressed to those that don't have the skill or perception to 'comment' and remain truly anonymous. As if anyone cares. Sorry...I've had better days.. and I now must join the ranks of the gullible, being suckered into offering opinions on the comments of the unimportant.

You don't sound "raged" just frustrated...
It's human nature to "hide" or post anonymously if you think you are going to be attacked by someone. I think this board has become better recently because of less personal attacks and more valuable information. We all gain if it's a professional forum.

It is funny that you posted this statement. I am new at all this and I asked a question about fees and I was given the 3rd degree for it. My question still has not been answered and I am only showing my name out of respect for you as a person.
I will not ask anymore questions because of the way several people treated me in their response. Only 2 people were nice enough to contact me on the side at my e-mail address.
I am learning and needed help and got basically told I was stupid.

No Tanya you weren't told you were stupid. The response given to you was to show you how to use the board search function to find the answer to the question posed. In fact it opened the door to a way for you to search all of your questions. It was a very frustrated response because you asked something that has been asked and answered over and over. When you entered the new thread you also overlooked the Important Notice that was given directly above the box to enter your post about how to consult the search feature for questions like "how much do I charge".
Further down in the thread it was also mentioned to read the thread beggining with post 33325 which is the best thread in the whole board.
In short your question was answered. You just didn't like that you were directed to search for it. That's not being stupid, that's acting lazy waiting for someone to post a break down of fees for the umpteenth time.

SarahBeth, your e-mail was fine. I know that you were trying to help me. I said thank you and I believe I also sorry I really didn't mean to bother anyone. Because someone came on and said I was be rude or copping an attitude. I am new and I have alot tolearn and yes you gave me a way to look and try to learn on my own.
I still haven't gottent eh direct answers but I am trying to figure it out. See, I have never been good at asking for help and when I did I got overwhelmed by all the postings that were not so pleasant. I am trying to get my Notary Business going. I have been down and out since January when I lost twins they were stillborn. Right now yes I get very emotional and for that I am sorry. All I did was ask for help and a war started.
