Woah now Moe, slow down a little here. Since you addressed that post to me, I'd ask that you go back and read my post more slowly this time. I specifically stated that I have no problem whatsoever with a profit being made from legitimate means such as banner ads. I'm a webmaster myself and I know how much time is involved with running such a concern. I also praised you and your efforts with this fine website. I simply meant that I believe it would be unethical to have a forum that directly links to one specific law firm. It's kind of like seperation of church and state in my mind, a thorny issue.

Now once again, please don't assume that I'm accusing you of that. I most certainly am not. But also don't assume that just because I'm new to your website means that I automatically don't have an understanding of law and the intricacies and difficulties that some of these cases present. Once again, if you re-read my post, I think I went out of my way to say that if in fact a law firm is simply pressing for a $$$ amount without either party knowing whether or not there is added value over any of the readily available consumer advocates out there then it's more than likely a disservice and possibly financially harmful to someone who is down to their last few bucks from abusive lending practices. Having said that, I 100% understand the need for legal representation when it's warranted and many times it is.

I'd hate to see the outcome of Pro se v. Countrywide Legal Department. It wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Keep up the good work and know that I made or meant no reference to your character other than kudos, goodwill, and a tip of the hat.
