I've been hospitalized on and off for the past 3 months dealing with a very severe case of Chrons Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. After the last big blow up over this mess I asked that anyone who was owed a prize please email me as I rarely ICQ. I recieved 1 email and I added a partner account for that person.

I've never scammed anyone and never lied. I will give anyone who is owed a prize, their partner account if they will PLEASE email 'mike|@|madthumbs.com ' AND CC to 'cameron|@|madthumbs.com' with their name, icq # and the email address they wish to submit with.

There were *15* people who were to recieve prizes, not 30. And of the 15, I have given accounts to 8. The winner of the contest, a fellow named 'fish' on ICQ was given a month of gallery listings. He sent me 7 galleries, and per our fixed listing rules, I asked that he send 7 more because we have a 2 week minimum. As far as I know, the next 7 galleries are yet to be given to me.

I have also dealt with 3 cases of people registering new ICQ #'s and pretending the be one of the people who 'won' a prize. I made the mistake of posting their simple nick names in public and have had to deal with that aspect as well.

You can ask my employees, affiliates, and friends how scarce I have been recently. I've hardly had the energy to stay away in bed long enough to eat. I am scheduled for the 2nd part of a new treatment for Chron's that involves a graft of tissue from various parts of my body onto the most severely inflammed sections of my colon. This will take place this coming Wednesday.

I haven't bothered to read this thread as I don't really give much weight to the bullshit that most people will throw at people during a situation they don't understand. I do business with a lot of people, and with those people I do it honestly, and well. To those that feel that I have 'scammed' them or failed them in some other way, please make an effort to email me, preferrably before Wednesday, so that I make rectify the situation.

Thank you much,
Michael
