You attacking me was not the best thing to do. At this moment I seem to be one of the guys that does not give you a hard time. In the movie "Assesins" with Sly Stallone, tere was an interesting piece of line: There is a mouse that walks in a field with cows. Wile passing a cow at the back, the cow start shitting on him. There he was, buried under tis pile of shit. Then there comes a cat. The cat starts likking of the shit from the mouse. When the cat sees that he's dealing with a tastfull mouse, he eats the mouse. The moral: Somebody getting you into shit, does not have to be your enemy, Somebody getting you out of shit, does not have to be your friend. Anyhow, I don't think this story applies to us to be honest, you did got yourself into shit but I just liked to tell it. > Go through your member sites at SCEE, and read people's pages.

What about making yourself the greatest internet page of the ENY. When you ask others if you can join them, you can show with your graphic skills at your page. > It doesn't matter how good you are at anything, if people think you > are a jerk, they will not want to work with you.

The sharks already ate you halfway, now you need some time to heal. And better not use your EMAG Design anymore. Believe me, it won't do you any good. If you realy would start a company called EMAG in a couple of years, we all would remember the way you started and we won't take it to serious (nicely said). Just take the given advizes and make up your mind what you realy want.. coder, games designer, musical artist, etc. DEnnis..
