Poor Jareds...

I was looking at the stats' for Mosco's heart wrenching post about his opinion on the service at Jareds and came up with a dollar amount on time spent by TRF members. Based on my review at 3.30pm EST, February 20, 2009, I came up with the following:

70 posts----- 3 minutes to read Mosco's tale, 3 minutes to read selection of thread posts, 3 minutes to write response. 9 minutes x 70 = 270 minutes.

649 'look ins'---3 minutes to read Mosco's tale, 2 minutes to determine you are not interested. 5 minutes x 649 = 3245 minutes.

Total minutes = 3515 = +/-60 hours@$100ph [low end professional billing rate-you use your own] = $6000.
Now for the 3 word thread......

Also gotta say - feel somewhat singled out, Peter. What's up with that/

No way my friend! I was thinking about the reach of TRF. It would be valuable for Jareds to see a thread that raised serious questions about the way their staff served you. The monetary value I attached to the thread could be applied to any, but in the case of Jareds for me, further illustrates the 'power' of TRF. I had no intention of singling you out---watch that blood pressure!

Ha ha!

Now I feel bad - as a result of my thread Jared will have to downgrade from a Ferrari to a Maserati... Poor guy....
