One of the better surfs this past spring was Surfing Avenue. I liked it right from
launch day and it had a good run. After a couple months I got a payment from
the Admin and it was a refund. An update followed that Gilbert, the Admin, actually
disabled upgrades a couple days before and I hadn't realized it as well as most
members.

Upgrades were not coming in hot and heavy like they did in the first month and
that tells the tale right there. In a recent Update on the 23rd of June, Gilbert
announced refunds were all complete and that he would be back with another
program soon.

Excellent and I'll be there. He treated me good, payed me on time, and refunded
me before there was any hooplah about it. I would like to have seen it continue
for months but that is the nature of the beast here in this surf world and he did
the right and honorable thing.




Actually, I just went into this on today's newsletter I sent out to readers and had
to write about it here on my Blog as well. For those who were members of
Surf2Sawa, where Joe Panda was the Admin, similar circumstances occurred
and I was paid my refund. That's the way to do it. Gain respect like that and there 
was closure. I was happy and I'm sure most members were as well.

The "closure" thing... I, for one, am satisfied with programs I just mentioned in
my article and wouldn't hesitate to join another that these Admins might launch
in the future. Big contrast to those Admins who cutoff all outside contact and leave
member's hanging....will I get another payment or not? In most cases....not...time
to move on as you wish all the 7 deadly sins upon the Admin or your left sitting
behind your monitor probably cussing and giving him "the finger" salute.

In conclusion, a clean and honest closure with refunds and communication from
the Admin is all most of us want and bid a Bon Voyage. Perhaps our paths will
cross again someday and we can start up another business relationship.
