You're talking about LB or Sausage.

He thought he was clever and a lot of people followed him like he was. It wasn't so. He talked a lot of BS and still does. Not trying to work in mainstream Internet.

Let's examine how clever this guy was.

He bought some cheap sets off us, half from Bargain Basement, used quite a bit on the tour. Total orders came to $600 I think, wasn't much.

He then complained people were canceling because the content was saturated and blamed me, did this on the Pond. So he thought cheap sets sold many times aren't meant to be sold over and over again. And was our content all that was in the site?

When I posted this out to him, he decided to let it go, like he was doing me a favor.

He also claimed to be a SE expert. Started a Tube in the early days of Tubes and it sucked, traffic was crap and conversions were worse.

I suspect he sold out because he wasn't good enough to make something work many others could make work.

He probably sold the sites with our content, which means he isn't bright enough to read licenses.

If he qualifies as smart, I'm a fucking genius.
