Ken,

All good points : ) Hope you stick around the lab. I like it when someone states their mind even if I don’t agree (in this case I agree).

I’ll put you on that “Stand up Guy” guy list, if that’s ok. Oh, yeah, it’s my blog, you are on the list.

Dave you can call anyone anything you want on your own blog... AR does teach a LOT of bad habits and isn't designed for the writers to benefit from the content they produce. At the beginning they talked a good talk, but have never walked the walk. Selling off part of AR to a lead generator alone should keep agents off the site, but it doesn't for some odd reason. So at this point I like it mainly because it keeps my competition busy not working and playing around on AR...and I have no issue saying so. Ken in Elgins last blog post..Heavy Rains Flood Elgin

Ken,

I would never say that. I might think it, have thought it, but I would never say it : )

Honestly, I’ve thought about this since the conference. If someone has never written and they aren’t sure it is something they want or can do then AR is a place to get support and questions answered. Many RE Bloggers have started on AR and then progressed to have their own blog, some even WordPress blogs.

They have provided this incubator for new bloggers. Unfortunately there are bad blogging habits to be picked up there as well since it operates pretty much as a closed community but that’s another topic.

BTW, Rich Jacobson is a stand up guy. Can I say that on a blog?

Sorry I missed everyone. I forgot the conference was last Friday. But, the good thing about living in Las Vegas is that everyone ends up visiting here eventually! Charles Richeys last blog post..Top Five Real Estate Bargains

Thanks for the activestrain link. I am relatively new to blogging and wondered if active rain had anything to offer me. It looks like not much. Ned Careys last blog post..A Cool New Tool
