In Response To: review: MyBoatPlans.com (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

: I think it would help a lot if someone reputable could do an honest
: review of myboatplans.com so wary consumers who search for
: reliable evaluation of the product could find something not
: written by "Martin Reid". It would not take many
: discussions like this posted on blogs to get a lot of visibility
: and likely bring any income stream Martin Reid gets from his
: efforts below the cost of maintaining his various feeder sites.
: Appropriate use of words like "review" and
: "scam" associated with "myboatplans" and
: "boat plans" " http://www.myboatplans.com/
: " etc would quickly rise up in google and help people learn
: that Martin Reid and myboatplans.com does not appear to be
: operating honestly.

Some people put more effort, thought and work into being bent than they would need to if they were honest folk. This kind of thing is all over the web. If it looks too good to be true it is too good to be true. By now everyone who uses the web is streetwise enough to avoid being scammed, or should be.

To start a crusade against this sort of thing is like pouring our most precious commodity, time, into a bottomless pit.

Really life is too short and time is too valuable to spend even five minutes pondering the workings of minds that want to scam us and their efforts.

The best revenge is to ignore these small transient minds and live a vital, creative life, filled with enthusiasm and joy.

Let them try and plagiarise that. The bast**rds.
