Children?
Please Henry, you keep up the great work. Most of us appreciate it very much. I'm surprised you even reply to the Daves. I sure wouldn't. They are obviously self-destructive and should be left to their own means.
Criticizers, you look at (what you assume to be) the bad parts of Henry's service, but you obviously overlook the good parts. He does a beneficial service without any compensation from us. The service he provides is actually provided by other sites for paid and free. He never even mentioned any of his sites or services; I only found them myself via Google, and I assume you probably found them the same way. Even if he was marketing his products with a free service, I wouldn't mind; it's a fair trade. Have you ever worked in business?
Threat? No, that wasn't a threat, he was pointing out a fact. If you ever had a thankless task, you would understand. Posting day after day with hardly a word of appreciation, and you eventually start to think that it's not benefiting anyone, and then you give up. He was letting you know how it's effecting him -- with hopes that some people would help bring up his spirits. It certainly worked for me. I don't facebook much, but I did Tweet and reply to the threads. I know it must take him at least an hour to type out each prediction. I know it takes me a few minutes to make money, and another few to thank him online.
Hype? Sure there's hype. This isn't science class, and nothing is precise. Some numbers are exaggerated, but the fundamental idea of making solid and consistent profit is still there. What are you complaining about?
I know many complainers feed off of responses -- it makes them feel important, so this will be my last and only response on this topic. You can either use the services or not, but b*tching about Henry's motives doesn't serve anyone.
IMHO Henry does great, and I hope he doesn't let all the naysayers get into his head.
