Thanks for the white hat tip, I tip mine to you as well

I may be a hick as well Josh.

Only if that includes living in Southeastern Kansas in a town of 700 people.
I was born in Oklahoma with family in Arkansas as well

@Ruck, no problem at all and thanks for the link!

@Chuck, well nothing wrong with your views there. I think Ruck may go into the grey area a bit, but he seems like a pretty good guy who is knowledgeable as well.

So Ruck is Ghetto, Chuck is Whitey and I’m the Hick, which I suppose is also classified as “whitey” (southern Indiana) lol actually I’m none of the above. I’m just an average guy with a weird country accent (Army buddies used to say so anyway) ount believe em a tall though. I aint got no kinda accent.

OK…so brevity can also look like a potshot sometimes. I will be slightly more verbose.

There’s a place for a lot of different kinds of people and personal styles in the world. I will say that I felt like Ruck had a strong emphasis on content. It looked like some stuff was there that I might benefit from…but, there were some issues there that would keep me from returning on a regular basis. Mostly, they were stylistic. Some were areas that I would describe as more in the areas of business ethics.

But, whether I’d be “whitey” to Ruck’s “ghetto” style, or “whitey hat-ty” to his scrappier “black-hattier” style…the label might well fit. He reminds me a bit of Shoemoney…someone else whom I respect for what he has accomplished (especially with AuctionAds), but to whom I no longer subscribe for two reasons: I’m no longer comfortable with his approach stylistically, and the angles he takes mostly don’t apply to my business model.

Nonetheless, a tip o’ the (white) hat to ya, Ruck.

Thanks for the plug, although I think I may upset some of your “whitey” readers LOL. But it is much appreciated man.

Also, I have added you to my like to read blogs. I am going to revamp it actually with an entire page and an excerpt about each blog. You might check out that anchor text and if you want something else, just let me know.

Hope the New Year is off to a great start from you,

Ruck

Both Ruck and Gary seem to be pretty good guys with alot of good info to share. To each his own and I know Chuck is picky

@Josh: I like posts such as this one because they so often lead me to treasures. I didn’t have time earlier today, but now I’m off to check out the other two sites . . . as well as the one in your “Helping” post.
