It's shameful to see all these rude posts about foreigners.  This was first started as a foreign website, and Sheri turned it into the pro-U.S. even though it was still foreign owned.  I believe the dentist's side of the story about not having a credit card and needing someone to collect the money and divide it accordingly.  Sheri's rebuttal is all about attacking the dentist's character and not so much factual.  She didn't reply to allegations about owing him money or using offshore MTs to line her pockets, whereas his explanation seems more factual based and doesn't make any personal attacks.  That's why I believe him. 

People are also confused in thinking that he still owns this site. He has said it has been sold to a friend and would only return to his ownership if Sheri had paid him the $7000 he was owed to buy it back.  It has since been sold and resold, so the dentist isn't the one running this site.

Now, you can choose to stay here or jump ship because you don't want to share this place with foreigners, but let's not attack people based on them living in other countries.  We, as Americans, should have more pride in ourselves and not resort to such childish and rude comments.  If you don't want to be here, then find anothe board, but let's stop the horrible comments.  You don't see anyone on here bashing Americans.

I definitely will not be going to Sheri's new site.  If you disagree with her, she blacklists you and threatens to sue over everything.  That's how she scares and controls people.  She certainly kept a lot of secrets about not owning the site before and only revealed details after the dentist's claims surfaced.  Don't trust her AT ALL.

There are lots of other boards out there...let's move on or at least stop with the hateful posts. We're better than that.

but we do live in a town of about 6000 people and they do live way out in the country.  I think it was probably working fine and, yes, math was probably difficult all the way around, and who knew at the beginning that their mother was going to pass away.  But I still think that this particular child would have benefited a lot by being around other children more than he has been, and probably scouts, YMCA, etc., would have been very good for him, but he wasn't exposed to anything like that.  However, like the poster below suggested, he probably is very depressed at this point over the changes in his life.

By the way, your child sounds like he is really thriving on homeschooling, and obviously you have made a great choice for him.  You sound like a wonderful mom.  Thanks for posting!

The best keyboard I've used during my entire 18 years as an MT.  You can purchase it separate from the number pad (on right of regular keyboards) for around $130.  I got mine off  ebay about three wks ago for only $51.00 and it came with the separate keypad.  Quite the deal!

The only thing I had to get used to was the stiffness of the keys.  Although it is adjustable, it kind of reminds you of the heavy-duty "clicky-boards."  Now I can flat out fly on this thing!

Good luck!  I'm glad my mission for the perfect keyboard is over!
