"Patti, I hate to hear that others are running into these people who do not have a clue how to use LinkedIn or other social networks. Not sure what Law the guy was referring to..another misguided individual who thinks the Opt-Out on emails gives him permission to spam people. Hopefully they get what they are asking for that LinkedIn does so well..Blocked For Spam."

"Thanks to the over 400 viewers of this blog so far. AT&T reports you are advising them of the diagrams I drew for the proper set up of their system is the only one on the internet. Glad I could help."

"Marci, Thanks for your support. Yes, there seems to be a disconnect with how many owners/managers want their club's to improve and how they are actually losing ground. I would love to report that the industry is changing, but just not hearing or see that many are facing today's challenges well."

"js, Yes..rebuilding a clubhouse to meet modern interests does have the flavor of Vegas. However, what happens if the older clubs with outdated clubhouse do not replace them with new ones? From what I am seeing, if they don't their members are going to move over to those clubs who did take the chance. So, those older clubs are losers for sure if they do not rebuild..and have a 50/50 at best of keeping their members and drawing new members if they do..the odds lean towards them calling in the bulldozers and get it over with. Thanks for your comment..well said."

"Unless the conversations between Twitter users picks up so connections can be validated I can't see how Twitter can prove its worthiness as a micro-blogging platform. Right now, Twitter is having a Link-fest and ReTweet-a-roma... Very few conversations. Consumers' interest in Twitter is waning since reading headlines for blogs and product promotions is not what they come to Twitter to do."
