We have already had that discussion, wherein you admitted
that you are in your 20's, with 7 years of experience.

I have held consulting positions longer that your entire experience.

People who make donations and then toot their own horns so loudly
are not really philanthropic. Could it be that you donate your
time so as to have something to brag about?

You taught yourself? And you're going to post here as an expert?

Once again you are making statements without an iota of facts to
back them up. What do you know about my past, or how much time I
have spent teaching computer skills to those same wasted youth that
you want to call "jealous"?

This is not about business. It's the principle. You can end this
discussion too. All you have to do is stop responding. Why are you
so intent on "tearing down" CryptoSMS?

You've been doing nothing but trying to "tear down" CryptoSMS, so going
by your own statements are you "jealous and embarassed"?
