[Durham INC] I added you as a friend on Quepasa.com

[Barry Ragin]

And Mike got his initial invitation (as did i) from one of our elected 
officials who i'm not going to name just yet. Knowing that this 
individual has never responded to a single email of mine, i rather 
suspected there was no real interest in us being part of the same social 
network, and so ignored the invitation.

Mike's experience was obviously different.

As for QuePasa, if they really think that in today's internet this 
scheme might have any other result than them going out of business 
rather quickly, then they are significantly less smart than the average 
bear.
