Dang Scott... I thought for sure it was you. I don't think I really though she was calling either of us dumb... but the subject really is not dumb. I truly think there are people who are interested in becoming good abstractors. We were not drawn to this business because of the money... Lord knows we haven't seen much lately! Scott we really thought it was something we would be good at and enjoy. We were right about our abilities and we enjoy what we are doing. We all know that there are THOSE people who have jumped in and are undercutting us all and don't know what h---- they are doing. What concerns me is they are taking these on line courses and going out thinking they know it all. My caution is not only to people like us who want to build a business and be responsible... it is to the companies who watch this site and think they are getting trained abstractors. OK Judy... enough. Scott see my message above.
