Or if the information he was seeking was of a life changing nature (note: not business changing nature) such as sharing my experience in what helped my mother when she was dieing of cancer to help someone in his family who might be dieing of cancer, I (and I am sure Perry) would go eat with him, as well.

The reason I find this thread so fascinating is that everyone that has had any previous contact in any more than a fleeting passing by with Perry, would find him being called "Greedy with a capital 'G'" just a matter of the original poster not knowing him very well.

It is good to see those who do know him stand up for him. It is sad that many taking an opposing view will never get the chance to know him well. I sometimes measure success by the people I know. (An old boss once said that no one knew the real measure of success so he figured it might as well be money. He then proceeded to go out and make a lot of it. (He was not a happy person, and it was obvious to every one that knew him.) On the other hand, I have always measured success differently at different times, but how much money I had or was making was never one of my rulers. from what little I know of Perry, I doubt he uses money as a ruler often; though when one is able to make a lot of money doing something they love, it is hard to not use it as a measuring stick occasionally.)

How do you measure success?

Perry

Perry's response here was enough for me to reconsider buying anything he offers and although his newsletter is great, I do find a lot of self-promotion inside.

Dennis and the rest of your paying customers deserved more respect. Sometimes people just want to hang out. I'm disappointed in both your response and the way that you posted this information publicly.
