    Good luck to anyone who makes money from hard work. Will remain a fan of this site, won't become a fan of moneysupermarket. They tend to play down the fact that any enquiries put through them for mortgages, pensions, life insurance etc.. get put up for auction to brokers and the details are passed to whoever is willing to pay the most for them through companies like PAA leads. Nothing wrong with that, I just personally don't like it. Doesn't seem to fit with the spirit of MSE, but perhaps the ethics of MSE might influence MS & PAA, stranger things have happened

    Anyone that uses this site and has gained from it, should have NO problem with the sale. However should money supermarket abuse the users of this site, then we are all free to walk away and find help elsewhere.

    I personally have benefited from the FREE advice on this site so am very grateful to a lot of people. Martin like the rest of us has to make a living and pay hill bills and through sher hard work has built up this site and provided work for others. If the site changes and I dn't like the way things are run then I don't have to use it. Simples.
    Martin, thatnks for having the foresite to set up this site, good luck for the future, and remember take no notice of critics because as the saying goes "there's never yet been a monument to one"
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    No one in debt has money to buy shares even if?

    i meant to say as a (free!) thank you, for making MSE what it is..

    - many people have contributed, mainly via the forum, over the years, but only one(?) guy gets the lions share?
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)
