Also, could you do me a favour and leave a name that I can respond to, instead of just a keyword? Thanks mate. If I get enough request I could always post a translation.

Hawkins Wed, 11 Feb 2009 12:56:02 +0000 http://wassupblog.com/?p=689#comment-3175 Hi Mitch, It's a good point. I know he has a lot more work than most of us and I think he's doing a lot of outsourcing too. Nothing wrong with that I guess it bothered me a little because he was having a dialog with Sire in the comments section. Nothing wrong with that but it shows he was aware of the comments. When I read my comment now it looks like I was flying off the handle but I didn't want it to come across like that. I actually enjoy John's blog and respect his success. Their are a lot of John Chow bashers but I'm not one of them. <abbr><em>Brian D.

If you've noticed, at least 30% or more of his posts now are guest posts. While we think he's off eating at fancy restaurants all the time and taking a lot of pictures, I'm betting he's actually in the background making deals based off his blogging career. Therefore, if he's not really writing all that stuff, why would he bother to read the comments? That, plus there are a ton of comments. If you've read the Problogger's blog, he's shown that you'd best be one of the first 5 or 10, otherwise he's not going to stick around to read, or respond, to anything else. I actually got him to respond to something he wrote once because I was the third person to post, and of course I wasn't necessarily agreeing with him at that point. But once again, he's got other business ventures, along with two or three other blogs also, so you can bet he's not sitting around reading all those comments. For us, if we were only doing the one thing, we'd probably have the time to get to all the comments that came in. But if we diversified,... well, who knows, right? <abbr><em>Mitch´s Last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ImJustSharing/~3/cLvSU8bs4nw/">The Ads On This Blog</a></abbr></em> Brian, you make a good point, but at this juncture John Chow is more businessman than blogger.

When I first started reading your comment I thought you were having a go at me for the way I portrayed John Chow in the post and I was going to reply how it was all in fun and how it contained a message on how to treat commentators and all. Then I realized you were having a shot at the man himself. I suppose he thinks this blog not up to his standards or perhaps my crack at Canadians offended him. Brian, you had me going for a minute.

I mean with all those comments you left on his blog and the trackbacks going to his blog it would have been decent of him to stop by and comment here. Someone remind me to still act respectful when I have a little success please. <abbr><em>Brian D.

They have it all there in front of them, but instead of using to their advantage that they the card abuse their finances.

I think it costs me about $40 in fees but last year I earned roughly $900 worth of value in points. I love my credit card, but then I control it and not the other way round.
