8000 Incorporated (EIGH)

No, not at all. I was lol-ing the fact that I was considered part of a "core team" that at the time I never even considered might exist. At the time, I thought we were all family looking out for each other, and Monk was just being an extra nice guy to those of us that had shelled out money to attend his Monkinars.

I've been very open about by my naivety and having been taken in by the whole scam. That post (and the fact that I didn't really think much about receiving such an email) is simply another example of how I got taken in by the whole thing.

My hope is that by admitting I got taken in by the whole thing that some others (probably mostly lurkers--as most posters land firmly on one side or the other) will also realize that they have been scammed as well. Maybe next time, "we" won't be so gullible.
