It's hardly breaking news that most people are easily fooled (look at the presidents you elect over there). The proof of the pudding is in the number of green bills you put in your bank account, not in the number of green marks you have under your name in an Internet forum. I earn in the region of 2m euros a year from my websites (not sure what that is in US dollars - about $3m?). I own properties in Ireland, the UK and here in the South Spain, where I live in a villa overlooking the beach. I also own a large apartment in the city. I have three cars here, a Porsche, a BMW and a Mercedes. I've had full page articles written about me in newspapers and financial publications in the UK and Ireland. So you'll pardon me if your little green stars don't mean diddlysquat to me. As far as I can see, only one or two people here know what they're talking about. And you're not one of them.
