Hey, Saber28!

I just read it, and that's actually a great idea! I'll pass that on, and we were thinking something in that direction, but we didn't know exactly how to do it -and this might be how!

Thanks!

By the way... I've got A LOT of laser PROOF stuff from Dr. Maricle. I'm going to post it over the next few days.

Your dog kicks ass! No one commented on my cat "Spanky" -one of the strays I adopted- in the animated gif in the DIY Scalpure thread! lol...

Hey, Brendanj!

Like I just said in the email, I have to freaking go to bed! lol...

I do want to clear up ONE MORE THING that was said about me that was completely untrue before all of this becomes moot, and this may shock some of you that I don't speak to on a regular basis. I DON'T GET MY SALES FROM REGROWTH. Yes, it's happened before, several people have bought helmets from me on the forum (that I moderated for free for a year and a half).

This is a misconception that I've stuggled with, and leave it to a "genius" like Ertel to grab the low hanging fruit to try to prove his grossly innacurate, childish points.

Here is the deal... I get very little visitors from that site to my site, even when I post a link to a blog, etc. What Ertel said about how I was making money because of him is absolutely untrue, and he could tell that for himself if he checked the stats. The fact is... much more people come to REGROWTH from MY SITE, and say "I went to OMG's site and I can't find his contact information, can someone get me in touch with him?" I'm sure you've all seen that one, and Goa'uld has already pointed that out! lol...

I just looked at my "statcounter" account, and out of my last 500 unique visitors... TWO of them came from Regrowth! It's "statistically insignificant", and that's the way it has always been. Right now at this second, I have 200 unanswered emails in my inbox from people interested in LLLT -not necessarily for sales, but just for me to help them. I'm on the hook for having to answer every single one of those to the best of my ability, which is something I enjoy and I'm passionate about. I have a blackberry, so I scan each email as I get it. Here's the point: There isn't one email from any of those 200 emails in my inbox from anyone that has even MENTIONED the site "Regrowth.com". Most of those people don't even know what that site is -and that is a FACT. I actually even spoke to someone on the phone today that hadn't heard of it -and he had the gumption and desire to pick up the phone, find my number, and get in touch with me on his own, yet he had no clue what Regrowth was.

Do you guys remember when I started repeatedly saying "Forums are a lot LESS IMPORTANT that we think they are!" a couple of months ago? Yeah, for a week or so that came out of my mouth all the time! Now you know why!

So, all of that is full of %&$!. I actually wouldn't have a problem letting someone check that out for themselves with my customer records. In terms of my business, Regrowth has done me zero favors because the vast majority of my customers are not forum posters, don't have a desire to post in them, and don't even know what the hell the forum names are.

...and THAT is the provable truth. That's also the bane of my existence, too! lol... I want people to post the testimonials I hear for pride reasons.

Anybody shocked by that? lol... Well, Jacob might not be because the same thing is in his inbox. Anyway, I just wanted to set the record straight before it was cold turkey.

So, FYI, that's just another idiotic thing that was said by that "expert". It's not true, it never was, I can prove it... and now that I've said that, this is the end of bringing that stupid ass drama over here! lol...

Now, bedtime.

-O.M.G.

We actually need a good "shrugging" smilie. I'd use that probably almost every post.

Q: OMG... why is the sky blue?
A: [insert shrugging smilie here]

Well, Anxious1...

I have actually been BANNED THERE. I was banned from Regrowth! I didn't even say a word... I was banned because you guys defended me!

I was actually being "reserved" before with what I was saying about him/his shill... I'd say that for me I was being VERY NICE! lol... What I'm saying is the truth for god sakes! Well, if it comes up, make him spell out EXACTLY why I was banned -he won't have a good reason. It'll be the same baseless accusations that he was making simply because he was embarrassed on his own forum -something that I told him BY EMAIL would happen if he started spewing his nonsense. So WOW... have a shill that accuses me of being a shill, accuse me of banning dissenting opinions when he doesn't even have the skin to own up to being an ass with his "Thank you moderators" post, delete and close entire threads because they aren't in his favor -THIS is the new leadership of Regrowth! lol... Everything Goa'uld and I were accused of is actually happening now.

I was sitting there WATCHING, not fighting! lol... I didn't say A WORD, nor did I do whatever illicit actions he is assured to accuse me of. I'm sure *I'll* be the child in this, though, right? I'm the one that has the problem? Why are these people so easy to predict...

If that doesn't tell you what's up, I don't know how else to show it to you. He's a fool, that's for sure, but the thing is that I don't think he's EVER going to realize it. I don't think he had any sort of idea how profound that site was, so I don't think he's going to notice that the profundity is gone. I don't think he had any clue about all the battles we fought -both at Regrowth and at other sites- for the SAKE of the freedom of Regrowth. I don't think he knows about the breakthroughs and advancements we were trying to accomplish there -versus waiting for a company to hand us something. I honestly think he's just going to blow this off as just a "hick up" that time will erase, and he thinks the site will go back to what it was at the end of the last millennium, and whether it does or it doesn't... he's oblivious to any of it. Don't know what he did for a living, but it sure wasn't "niche marketing".

Maybe it WILL be popular still, but that's irrelevant to me. His two emails to me yesterday were SO BACKWARDS compared to what we all believe in, and it was of someone that had the exact same mentality of the hair loss world from years ago.

Plus... he was actually "scolding me" like he was someone important, and I was a little hapless kid that didn't know a damn thing. That was pretty offensive to me, I must say. Him owning a site that would be vacant without all of us contributors doesn't make him important. He doesn't matter, and he had to resort to deleting negative posts about HIM on his OWN SITE, and had to resort to banning ME because he can't take the heat!

Oh, I'm sure he thinks he has a reason -just like he said he thinks that I was obviously suppressing other alternatives to laser therapy, I owe any success and popularity that I've achieved to me riding the coattails of his wonderful site, you know... the things that we always heard from 20 year olds and minox shills on other sites.

It's obvious that this is mostly about his pride and ego, too. This isn't only because he's recently jobless and recently divorced -the same way I was last year, by the way, when I poured my heart into Regrowth FOR FREE, helped to create the environment so the best community could thrive FOR FREE, developed the best laser treatment and showed people how to make it ALL FOR FREE, and took in 7 stray cats when I could barely feed myself! lol... Let's see if he accomplishes those same things! Literally, I think he expected to walk in like it was 1999-2001 and say "Hi, I'm the site owner", and people would start fawning over him, consider him an EXPERT, and ask him questions about minox and propecia. He had no clue what the site that was paying his mortgage consisted of or the people that made it great, and he showed that with an ignorant, authoritarian lack of respect.

Well, accuse me of what you want, but I certainly never banned anyone for NO REASON, much less one of the top contributors. What a dick.

You know what's great? I can sleep at night.

None of this is really that important now, I suppose. Especially in the hair loss industry, people are %&$! to each other as a norm. We know what that site is now, and we've known that we needed to scram to somewhere where one of us or someone with our same vision could actually format and "evolve" the site. There is so much that is UNDONE in the world of hair loss, and it all has to do with helping people -not about the bottom line from advertiser revenue.

...And forget about "helping others" for a second... we need to help OURSELVES with ways to actually store information, never lose an ounce of information again, and hone the tools to become proactive! We need to have some fun, too. I personally am going to enjoy cornering people in live interviews and making them squirm.

Well... time to get to work! Ok, time to get to SLEEP, then to work! lol... And more importantly, it's time for me, at least, to leave that era behind me.

-O.M.G.

I COMPLETELY AGREE about being so confused that I don't know what is what with all of these topicals. I think Goa'uld is trying to put together a "paper" on them all, and he's going to make an initial post about it.

Ok, wow... exciting news in the mundane world of sometimes-hard-to-find foamies! It's called "Fun Foam", and it's sold at Michael's! http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5394/funfoam.jpg Michael's didn't carry this before -it's a completely new brand from what I can tell. They had thinner real "Foamies"...

I used Azaleic Acid about four years ago with Zix (because of the AA, Zinc and B6 study reduces DHT by 90% paper), and it irritated my scalp. Of course, it was a home brew version that I made with alcohol, and back then I had a much more inflamed scalp that I do now, so maybe this is better. I'm act...

Ok, I thought of one... "The connection between hair loss and acne(??)"

That's something pretty interesting!
