If half the energy that is being spent blaming neteller for our woes...

    ...or whining about how it sucks...was being directed at the real problem - congress (and secondarily the doj) - we might have gotten someone's attention...

    Seriously...I see that many of you that have complained on here that your life is ruined or that the US sucks...or have called neteller repeatedly and blessed out some $6/hr phone operator...

    How many of you have called your congressman...or senator...or even written them...

    And to those that have written once and posted their response...have you written them back...or called...or done so daily...

    How many of you have joined the PPA...or are you going to let Mason Mallmuth be the end all be all and ignore the endorsements of Bluff and Cardplayer...

    How many of you have called or emailed Michael Bolcerek or Linda Johnson to see what you can do to help the PPA...

    Do you think Congress has someone monitoring P5s - and that they will magically go "wow - this really sucks - we need to do something about this"...

    Me neither...

    Please - stop the whining...if you have new legitimate information - share it...otherwise - its probably already been said a hundred times...

    Think you "REALLY" know what's happening...do a google news search for "Neteller" - the first five articles this morning all have vastly different information...accept the fact that no one really knows whats going on...I honestly don't think the DOJ does...

    Certain Neteller is out to screw us...explain the $7 billion in transactions in 2005 - certainly more in 2006 - with hardly a peep of any real problems...

    And then think for a second what would happen in your job if the DOJ all of a sudden branded what you do as money laundering...and you had to deal with virtually every one of your customers wanting to know whats going on...and wanting to know on a daily basis...

    Yes - this situation sucks...and I do feel for many of you that have large amounts of money in limbo...

    But instead of coming on here daily and talking about how much it sucks...

    Do something about it...

    It's the only way we are going to get things changed...

    I think you are wrong and I didn't read past the first sentence. Many people have many dollars being held. Consider yourself lucky if you don't. Writing your senator is what many of us did when that was needed. Right now people are just venting out of frustration and frankly I totally get it. I know more than one friend with over 100k locked up. I myself have about 10k locked up.

    I think you are minimizing what these people should feel.

    Im surprised you of all people didnt read past the first sentence...I noted that I do feel for what people are going through...

    And yes - I was lucky - I don't have much in limbo...

    My point is simply that the energy going into posting on here could certainly be put to better use...venting is one thing...the constant whining I am seeing is quite another...

    And though I didnt state it - I am not calling the kettle black...I have written my congressmen and senators daily...I have called twice - and will continue to do so...I have emailed the PPA...I have sent more money to the PPA...Im trying my best to right the wrongs we've been handed...and if anyone has any other suggestions - I will be more than happy to listen to them...

    I just hope others are doing the same...
