Just goes to show though that even in a world of rich 'shady' people - one clean person could still make it and make it big. Also, if my memory serves (and quiet can correct me on this) - I don't think he had many sites - I think he only had one (perhaps 2 but this wasn't some program with 20-100 paysites).

            quiet - the question I have is, by the time iBill died, you could have had so many other billing options put into place, why did you choose to just let it die with it? **Over the course of a few months, you could have had your users 'choosing' to switch over to the new biller, right?**
            hehe, cheers girl. i have just never had (or wanted) to fuck people over. it was easy (well, maybe not exactly easy)... to produce a quality product, and push the fuck out of it. crank it out as far as it would go. that was the basic philosophy behine UWS. i had 3 paysites over the 10 years, but really, the only one that matters was UWS. ultrawired.com forwarded to UWS by around 2000.

                    You came in.
                    Did it 100% clean.
                    Made your money
                    Got out.

                    There are so few that do it like that. You came in and made it on your terms and left on your terms. I've always had huge respect for you. Great post and great answers

                    I also have to say thanks for your posts back in the day. They were always a huge motivation. They re-enforced the idea that a paysite that is built on delivering a quality product and treating the customer the right way is viable in this industry. Back before visa regulations were imposed there were VERY few companies that had the balls to do that. Thanks to guys like you, Karups and ATK we followed a business model that suited us well and helped us really kick ass. Thanks!
                    cheers man. we need to hook up for a beer or glass of wine at some point.

                            nope. i have a great accountant, as well as a couple lawyers.

                            the gst thing though, NOT FUN.

He's always posted the same way as the same guy.

                                That's a rare thing in any business but especially this one.
                                cheers buddy. you are offically in the bro club ;)

Friends, family, comfort? You probably financed half of the Olympics cost on your own...

                                        no problem man, don't mind answering in public (and i think this is someone i might know on a personal level hehe). i love Canada, and everything it has to offer. i am addicted to downhill biking, and snowboarding, and there really is nowhere esle in the world that offers both, world class. that is pretty much the only thing holding me in Canada.i love traveling, and eave the western hemisphere every year for a min of 3 months, max of 6 months.
