I was thinking the same thing, then looked closer... All the responses are "giftcard". I think he's spamming new guys with his signature line, take a look.

Come on guys....you know that 90% of people that lose their jobs (no matter what that job was) become contractors.

It's so easy a monkey (or caveman) could do it. And you make a killing!

Yea, it's a fairly average day... we usually sign up between 25 - 50 new members a day.
But thanks for the compliment
