I don't know who this guy is, but I counted the word "free" five times between the subject and message body.  That alone raises my suspicions.

There's been fake web sites put together with forum members photos before.  I would be careful of sending your photos to anyone you don't know.

I agree with you to not contribute to the CD if you feel you might have a privacy problem. I agree that you can check out the CD when it's complete and then see what you think. Don't feel that I've just started posting because I'm desperate for help from Planetlove members.
 It's not about hinging on this forum to finish my CD it's about letting you know it will soon exist and your welcome to view it on completion. There's nothing here that will hamper it's completion or slow it down. Just letting you know.

... in response to Re: Why now? , posted by NW Jim on Nov 23, 2003

Thanks NW Jim for the greeting. I'm glad you see a bit into and my motivations here.
 It's true that I'm not interested in making money through this project but that may seem to cause a red flag to many people here who have indeed paid good money for bad services as well as good services.
 I suppose if we had the real freedom to bring a Russian or Ukrainian woman to America without the K-1 visa then it would ease the process a bit but due to the requirements of our governement and knowledge that must be learned by ourselves it makes a hard task for the average man.
 Back in 1989 I was married to a wonderful woman from New Nealand and the marriage lasted seven years. She died in an automobile accident and my daughter is all I have to firmly remind me of her on a daily basis. Back then we met here in the United States and she was on her third tourist visit. She never returned home from that third trip here and we were allowed to do all visa work here and without here returning home.
 Today it is true that rules and regulations change regulary in this area and with the 9-11 event happening back in 2001 it seems things will always be open for change.
 You mentioned my idea had merit 10 years ago and I agree with you completely on that. The difference with my project is that it's not to make money and also not to advise other than someone learning from each mans different and unique story.
 We all know that each man has a view and a story about this process which cannot be deemed the exact same as any another man. The pain and joy are always different and the total journey is interesting in itself. To me this makes the process of finding,meeting,and possibly marrying a woman from the FSU a journey that cannot have too much information to look at.
 I agree with you in that trying to sell these experiences would be a business venture that would probably be based on how much money one could make and that's why it's not.
 Imagine that you looked at the CD and enjoyed the experiences of another mans journey while at the same time found a connection to him in his search. Having cost you little or no money to do this it  might serve as a way to think about the process more deeply and at the same time possibly drop the idea of involving yourself in the process completely.
 I'm not a bad person and have no wishes to put people in a situation that they feel is not for them. I am a person who passes you a CD in hopes that you enjoy it and maybe learn a tad bit more than you already know.

Good idea but I would have thought this site works in that area? I know another site that does more work through legislational methods than this one. Not too much headway happening afyter 9-11.
 It seems logical you can go ahead and get the woman over here without too much trouble but the task is not for the dreamers still.

Poor old LP your starting to sound like Jack a bit too much now. Not that Jack was not an expert or anything but your buttons have been pushed and you don't like it..lol
 You need to lighten up mate and not take yourself so seriously in this little sandbox. I'm not your enemy here but I can return your insults with more savy than you wanna give me credit for.
 I enjoy reading what you have to say most of the time but when you get your ego mixed up with your detective work it seems to cause yourself more mysery than it's worth. I'm not asking for your approval here mate and your surely welcome to demonstrate your intelligence. Seems to can't get it through your head I'm not opting to answer any questions you have because the last time I checked my membership did not involve going through you to post..lol

... in response to But 7 years?, posted by tfcrew on Nov 19, 2003

I've been searching for about 4 years and have watched this board for that long.
 At present time I'm engaged and will probably be married soon. My fiancee works with candidates for local and regional elections and will be a televised host next week for the debates.
 
 I've not been seeking a wife for seven years but have been engaged for a year and a half. My way of doing things in this arena may be different but not too different from most men.

 I would like to burn a cd that would help people like ourselves. The cd would be from our experiences and what we have done in our quest. I will probably go ahead and make the cd myself but if anyone wants to participate that would be great.

 No advertisements will be included in the cd and no mention of "who" did this for me and why "they" are the best will not be the objective.
 Reference to dating services will be mentioned but not by name or affiliation as to deter from "pumping anyone's business up.
 It's good to mention how a "person" or persons received good business connections but no names or business will be mentioned.
 The aspects of the "journey" will be the main point about things and hopefully a virtually free advice cd will be produced. It will work great becasue "you" and "myself" will be the advertisement rather than the actual array of businesses who try to gain footage and throw tons of advice. Who better to explain this quest better than the men like us who have actually done the walking and talking in this pursuit of the FSU bride?
