I have some for making woodcuts--amateur hobby.* * * * * * * * * * * * Steve Imparl - 2005-02-16 05:51:12 REVIEW OF THE PEACE PERSONALS SITE: I FEEL QUEASY after checking out the Peace Personals site. Hello. You ought to feel queasy. It's a creepy little site. I did $4,234 worth of legal work for their predecessor company, Partners in Projects, Inc., and they refuse to pay me. In addition to that, one of the owners, David K. Landau, took anywhere from $14,000 to $20,000 from his former business partner in Partners in Projects, Inc., and refuses to pay any of it back to the partner. He also owes about $3,000 in fees to a business consultant he hired for the predecessor company. I will take them to court if I can. Anyone even considering joining that site should ask for audited statements and independent confirmation of where the money is going. I don't trust that site or its owners as far as I can throw them. One word: smarmy. You're being too generous. In order to create a profile, you must choose your "element" ("water" is represented as raindrops on a window). What sort of medieval nonsense is that? (never mind that I just posted the 4-humors quiz). You also get to pick 4 other preselected photos, all hokey, and write a single bare little sentence of self-description. The whole thing is overengineered and content-lite. Not to mention goofy... It also seems snooty--"we're not like all those other neanderthals--we're peace-lovers." "Peace-lovers" who don't pay their bills. What it boils down to is a site for people with an agenda, which probably ranges from Starbucks smoothie-sipping suburban yoga practitioners to apoplectic Bush denouncers--all in all, a group to avoid. At least with respect to one of them, David Landau, that's right. It's pretty disgusting. Take thousands of dollars in property, cash, and services from honest people and refuse to pay them back. Uh huh. That's the way to promote "peace" and "social change." Be very, very careful when dealing with that site or any of its owners. Take care, Steve Imparl Attorney at Law* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
