Kind of a cute story-

Why thank you Yoe for the compliment.

And like you, I also agree that Patrick's format is by far the best.

Now Yoe, with this remark you are making towards boy blunder, maybe you are being a bit harsh, don't you think? I mean, after all, if your wife told you to do this, or told you to do that, wouldn't you also do what she told you? See, you probably would. I know with the respect and love I have for my good Russian wife, I would also do most things she told me, although it would be more in the form of asking, and I am sure most guys would. After all, those of us who are fortunate enough to have a good Russian woman, all know we have something very dear and precious.

Yoe, since boy blunder does not care to discuss, or to debate, certain topics with me, I would be truly honored if maybe you would consider such?

I see you as a guy who took a reasonable approach, I think you must have all got your share of bumps and bruises along the way. You probably met your share of good and bad Russian women and ended up marrying a good Russian woman. I think a good running debate between you and I might be able to provide some valuable insight to the new guys who are looking for a good Russian bride, what do you think?

I agree with you Mark that there should be no concern about Jack's "promotion" of his business on P-L.  There's nothing wrong with posting information about agencies, apartments, drivers, travel, etc. as long as the "promotion" aspect does not become repetitive or blatant as was the case with mdante awhile back where every post on every topic somehow involved how his wife's business could answer and solve every problem.  Furthermore, while we may not always agree with Jack, he has, as Dan points out, provided helpful comments and advice, often on a free basis.  At least his posts here, IMHO, are not designed to promote his business, although I see nothing wrong with some free advice with the possibility that it might lead to future business for his agency.  Indeed, most of the promoters of Jack's business are other posters or Jack responds to direct questions.  Of course, if his posting disputes cause a perception (rightfully or wrongfully) that he is the "lunatic" described in Bubba's post then his business may suffer.  I would hope that Jack is smart enough to figure that out for himself, and will conduct himself accordingly.

At least we are in agreement on this.

BTW... did you see any harm in scammer's post in which he said that the website: scammer.net was going to post travel links?

Especially when I looked at scammer.net and saw that it is hardly a commercial site.
