I will call them followers now. I see no negative connotations from that - comments?
Followers sounds good! I don't see anything that could be construed as being negative with that.

RIGHT ON, YOHB! If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, IT'S A DUCK, DAMMIT! The duck in question can call itself any name it chooses -- canard, Mr. Mallard, Wagglebird -- I'm calling it a DUCK.

Does it strike anyone funny that store #3 based on listings at WP is not a founding member? If you ask me it seems like a highjacked store or some sort of trade off for the phone # that is listed in the store description.

Yes, it does strike me funny. I noted this store in another post (two actually), and hypothecized on the store presence in exchange for the phone number, business hours, etc. Since that time, the "Founding Member" icon program has been instituted, and I have a feeling that #3 didn't get his just deserts because Ray is punishing him for going on PSU complaining about no sales and wanting suggestions on St. Elsewheres to set up shop. It's Ray's subtle way of wagging his finger and exerting ultimate authority.

On another PSU note: After Bud asked if I had a degree (as a challenge, I suppose) and I replied that I did, more than one in fact, she says, "A member of my immediate family does have a degree in this field and that's a fact. I think that's the last thing she would be doing for work is selling online. I find that very very hard to believe. You don't talk like an educated person in my opinion."
In a way, I was happy she made this statement because it demonstrates to everyone reading the thread how hypocritical these WP cheerleaders are in their accusations of insults, mud-slinging, name-calling, put-downs and "lack of professionalism" aimed at myself and other TTers. Like you said, YOHB, she hides behind a sock-puppet, while everywhere I am easily recognizable. I signed up on this forum under another name solely because I was still a seller on WP at the time and knew Ray (and his disciples) monitor this thread. He figured it out anyway.

Edit: I forgot to ask, DOES ANYBODY HERE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IKARMA? Is it safe? Does anyone find it useful? Any info would be appreciated.
