What a glorious day, I saved the cash from my slush fund and bought
both my kids iPods for Christmas, even got them engraved with their
names. Now I need to save some more cash to buy them some iTunes
Cards.

I also came to the realization that I spend way too much time on this
site.

I have therefore decided to move on for good.

If any of the HATERS or SCABS takes the opportunity to antagonize me
via this post, I shall return with a vengeance. The ball is in your
court!

In conclusion:

Sioux Fan I wish you the best in your studies, I think you will make
a great pharmacy technician, just be yourself and don't let anyone
tell you what is and what isn't right. Follow you own heart.

Erik I claim Victory, pack up my army and head home to the victory
parade.

Motorcycle Lady I know you secretly like me, it okay!!

Flea Keep up the good fight!

To the rest of you SCABS, take a deep breath, this is only a webpage,
take it down tomorrow and the sun will continue to shine and the birds
will continue to sing. Is it really worth all the grief?

Feel free to contact all the "regulars" who ran off with their tail
between their legs and invite them back.

To Quote a Leader: Mission Complete!

It begins with a simple letter to Target asking a question about the
Salvation Army, a letter which generated 122 responses, mostly
negative. Had I known what I know now, I would have just written a
letter and dropped it in the mail.

This site provides a good service and an easy way to contact
companies, but it has probably migrated into a statistic gathering
device instead of the "voice it was intended to be.

I admit I got wrapped up in the game as well; I couldn't wait to
"hammer" a letter writer or comment on a post. My level of
one-upmanship grew to an embarrassing level.

I started writing letters with good content, but crafted them in such
a way that they were sure to cause controversy, and it worked for a
while. Not only was it fun, but it was a bit therapeutic.

Suddenly, I am banished and no one wants to post to my letters, this
only gives me cause to post to other letters, and I post some doozies.
Think of it as, when a door is closed, a window is usually opened or
water always flows to the area of least resistance.

I have been referred to as a slack jaw, a yokel, a bumpkin, an idiot,
an a-hole, etc.... Most of this was directed at the name I created,
but a lot was probably personal attacks. I am amazed at the level of
hatred generated by simple letters.

I have one suggestion. When a OP is creating a letter, he/she should
be queried about their interaction with the manager. I can't start to
count the number of responses that begin with "did you speak to a
manager?"

I find that I am spending way to much time on this site; I am not
leaving, but I am no longer going to fill this site with my writings,
it just isn't worth it any longer.

I do wish you all well and urge you to examine your personal post over
the past month or so and ask yourself "am I being helpful or
spiteful?"

For the record, I posted on 57% complaints, 35% compliments, and 8%
questions; 23 letters with only 2 responses. One from Domino's and one
from Target; I recommend you patronize these stores.

For all of you that think I am an uneducated hick; I have a college
degree, as does my wife, I have made life/death decisions throughout
my career, in 2005 & 2006 I made 36 platelet donations to a blood
donation center, look up platelet donation on google to see what a
huge commitment this was. I honestly feel as though my platelets saved
lives. I don't let my kids kill anything they aren't prepared to eat,
I believe every living creature has a right to live until it is ready
to enter the food chain. Yes, I catch bugs in my house, but I always
take them outside and let them go.

I have one more letter to write, then I am going to make cameo
appearances, not the daily barrage I am known for.

I wrote a letter to Domino's Pizza and a lot of the "regulars" here
immediately attacked, but I get results!!

Cleatus -
Thank you for contacting Domino's Pizza...

Wanted to make you aware that we have announced we will be departing
Michael Waltrip Racing effective following the 2007 season.

I have included our press release for your reference.

As of now, we have yet to decide on any team partnership for NASCAR in
2008 -- although we will remain the OFFICIAL PIZZA OF NASCAR all
season..!

Thanks again for contacting Domino's. Hopefully this helps answer
your question.

Domino's Pizza and Michael Waltrip Racing to Part Ways After 2007
Domino's Remains "Official Pizza of NASCAR®" Through 2008 Season

ANN ARBOR, MI, Sept. 13, 2007-Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ) and Michael
Waltrip Racing have announced their intentions to part ways after the
2007 season following Domino's first season as primary sponsor of the
#00 Toyota entry in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series.

The #00 team has been under the ownership of first-year team owner
Michael Waltrip, and led by rookie driver David Reutimann who
currently sits 40th in NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series points. Domino's Pizza
will continue its sponsorship as the "Official Pizza of NASCAR"
through the 2008 season.

"We are thankful for the efforts of the entire MWR team, and
appreciative of our 5 year relationship with Michael Waltrip," said
David Brandon, Domino's Pizza Chairman and CEO. "He has been a great
brand ambassador and partner, and has been instrumental in connecting
Domino's with NASCAR fans. We wish him and the entire MWR team well as
they continue to work towards success in this highly competitive
sport."

Reutimann qualified for nine of 12 races with Domino's as primary
sponsor, with the team failing to qualify for the NNCS races at Las
Vegas and Bristol last March. After a strong practice session at Texas
Motor Speedway last April, the weekend qualifying session was rained
out, forcing the field to line up based on points - and sending the
#00 team home for the weekend. However, Reutimann generally
outperformed other Toyota drivers, and showed promising ability with
some strong runs - including a 13th place finish at Richmond earlier
this month.

About Domino's Pizza®
Founded in 1960, Domino's Pizza is the recognized world leader in
pizza delivery. Domino's is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "DPZ."
Through its primarily franchised system, Domino's operates a network

more than 55 countries. The Domino's Pizza® brand, named a
Megabrand by Advertising Age magazine, had global retail sales of
nearly $5.1 billion in 2006, comprised of $3.2 billion domestically
and nearly $1.9 billion internationally. During the second quarter of
2007, the Domino's Pizza® brand had global retail sales of more
than $1.2 billion, comprised of approximately $754.7 million
domestically and approximately $492.5 million internationally.
Domino's Pizza was named "Chain of the Year" by Pizza Today magazine,
the leading publication of the pizza industry and is the "Official
Pizza of NASCAR®." More information on the Company, in English

To everyone reading my BLOG that has ever been bullied by the clique
of rogues on this site:

Post at the bottom of this message, we will start our our group and
take each other's letters right to the top.

This is a public site and the bullying has got to stop, tell your
friends LET US UNITE!!

Think about it, why is every letter we write immediately attacked by
these folks? Don't we have a right to expect companies to hear our
issues too!

Go to my letters to Target and General Mills, together we can bring
them into the top-25 and take back our dignity.

Speak out now!

It seems as if everyone dislikes what I post, but these same people
can't wait to read and post comments, sounds like a double standard,
BUT

I have decided to abandon my contributions to this site, the people
that post here need to contact Jerry Springer, it would make a great
show.

I hope all you Ass Clowns (AC) enjoy wallering in each others filth,
as for me, I wipe the stench and move on to better things.

This has nothing to do with the urgings to leave, I have just become
bored with the format. Look for my book!

Oh, and when the traffic drop too low on this site, the administrators
of PFB have my e-mail, they can always invite me back...

Good Day Skeezers!
