Do I look stupid or what?

Just had an ICQ chat with a moron who thinks I'm stupid.

The deal he was offering was I give him all my paysite, content, design and content management program. He would put up a site he hosted and email spam it daily.

He said he hosted and worked from a country where he was untouchable for spamming, could get 500 to 1,000 sign ups a day and would pay me 10% of revenue. He has been doing pills spamming for years and does 200 to 400 orders a day.

I pointed out to him that on 100 sign ups a day he would be paying me $300 a day and $9,000 a month. Also added he could buy the complete sites for $18,000, 2 months revenue at 20% of his lowest figure. At his best figure he would pay me more in the first month than he could buy the site for.

Here the moron element really kicks in. He did not mind this as it was less hassle to do it this way.

If you're going to try and con me at least sit down and think it through.
