i really take offense to being called a liar, even on a message board. i haven't lied on here in any of my couple hundred posts. don't call me that unless you ask for proof and don't get it.
Here's the deal with internet claims regarding wealth:
Wealthy people do, in fact, have internet access believe it or not, and are no less likely than anyone else to post on message boards.
That said, the type of wealth often claimed by internet posters is only seen in 1% or less or the overall population. In other words, if everyone were telling the truth, only 1 out of every 100 posters would be an "internet millionaire".
Since 40-50% of all posters claim to be "rich", it's a statistical certainty that most of them are lying. Now that doesn't mean
everyone is, and it also a statistical certainty that there will be a small handful of people who are telling the truth, but most of them aren't.
Given that, I'm sure you can understand why people would be skeptical.
