Scott the Historian,
Last time I checked, I didn't have my first amendment rights revoked but thanks for checking.
As far as the soccer thing, I was sort of locked up when that happened and was following via mail several days behind. Unfortunately I got the first part, where he hadn't been paid, and then the second part where everything was straightened out days later. I laughed when someone wrote Jay Cohen must be rolling over in his bunk as he reads this because I was.
For thr record, as I read the first part I felt the player should have been paid and was glad to see my former associates did the right thing. I would hardly consider that a slow pay. They investigated some very unusual activity, they tried to contact the man who did not leave a good number or email, and when they eventually did contact him with the help of the sites, they paid him in full. How many other books would have paid out over $35,000 to that man in that situation? WSEX screwed up, they made good on it.
I am a big advocate of airing these matters out on this board as opposed to a buried forum. People ask me if I would like it if WSEX complaints were here and I say fine because I am proud of the way they handle themselves and resolve things. They have nothing to hide. In a large company things are going to happen from time to time. It's how they are handled that separates the cream from the crop.
I have known Shrink a long time. My company was his second advertiser here in 1997, SDB was the first and they are long gone. I was the one who told him to start this board. And I know he is away. Tomorrow is his birthday. He always asks me why I don't post more over here? Well, here I am. These are serious issues, not what we had for dinner last night.
Major, there are few things I would rather do than go around Antigua and get the customers of scumbag Eddie paid. It's not something I can do from here, although I have tried. But if I ever get the opportunity, I will. You make it sound like I have a direct line to the Prime Minister, I wish it were so. In the alternative I would like to see the other Antiguan books get together and square up the debt, not an easy task but I think it will happen one day. But please don't change the subject.
You say you are tired of dealing with the Royal question every 3 months and they always pay. Ask yourself this, why the hell do they slow pay every three months that you have to deal with the questions. If they just paid EVERYONE in a timely fashion EVERYTIME these questions would never arise. And I am shocked that you of all people are not more troubled by the Tej issue.
Still no word from the tech.
