what people really want and need is actionable info they can use today. some basic pointers on how to get back in the action. that's what gfy needs to start focusing on if we want to revive the webmaster side of the industry. no one here is making money posting about politics.

ignore the dinosaur who hijacked the thread. he's just wasting our time (and money)

thatīs exactly it. but to be a dinosaur must not mean that you are an old ignorant fart.

look, i am also over 60 (I really donīt understand that fact) but I am pretty sure that most of the young fuckers donīt beat me.

the difference between paul and me is simply that i never got to the point where i thought i knew everything. i wake up every morning and look forward to learning something new and in the breaks i think about whether what i learned yesterday still applies today.

but I forgive him, because it is part of human nature that we try to learn ONE time so that we can learn MANY times. the more there is to check then the more difficult it becomes in the old one. it is as if you would try to upgrade your 20 year old laptop to 512 Gigabyte Ram. Most people just can't do that.
