Changing name of Mexico Expat Press to Lake Chapala Reporter....

Mexico Insights left big shoes to fill. Renaming the publication "The Lake Chapala Reporter" indicates a narrowing of the focus. If that does not work, maybe another name change to "Mexico Expat Lake Chapala Insights Reporter Press"?

just ta give it the mexican touch why not add:informadoorfavor and some where the word free

Good point, Pedro! I hope the publisher is taking notes and appreciates all this great free advice we are offering up here.
Oh, one problem with the "Free" part. This online publication is not free. Ya gotta pay if ya want to read more than the first two sentences of anything. This is not enough of a sample for me to know if it is worth it. Well, maybe put the word "Free" on it anyway and then when people go to the site, say, "Just Kidding! Ya gotta pay if you wanna read."

Of the E-Zines, Judy King always had a free sample of one month, and some abreviated parts of articles; I am not certain of the Ajijic On Line one. But I do think she had some freebies. There was another started by some young fellow that charged, and didn't go far.

I still think there will be confusion; I really don't know if there will be any legal concerns. I am actually assuming that Lisa checked all of that out when she set up the business; and I don't know if what we went through with our corporation actually applies to on line publications, because they may actually be registered some place else than here.

excellent thought,[i was thinking free press though] and having an interest i antiquities i would like to see "telegraph" and "post" added.

It has to be "free", or else, everyone would have to start collecting the 16% IVA for a "lucrative operation".

...and we don't want that hassle, do we fellow posters??    

Oh no, we do not, Slainte. That is why our astonishing amount of wit and wisdom is still offered free of charge here on Inside Lakeside. It is just another community service we all offer fellw posters, general readers, lurkers and trolls.

No, you didn't win. You just showed the rest of us you don't have the balls to stand up for yourself.

Again, I said nothing about "winning." I made what we call "a joke." You have created in your own mind some ridiculous competition in which you demand I "stand up for myself." Say what? You may be accustomed to people performing to your demands but I don´t play that. Game called due to lack of interest.

   

Double-talk. I asked a simple question. You refuse to answer because you have no answer. Instead, ring-around-the-rosy bullshit, all the livelong day. Admit it.

Joke? What joke? Where?

Pretty quick to start a fight over something nonsensical while failing to address an issue that involves you:

I refuse to answer because I have no answer. I admit it. You got me, HelperGuy. You da man. Now you can go answer Cheena´s question. Thank you, Cheena.

I can't read his posts. I blocked him long ago, along with a few other choice knobs.

Thanks for the kudos.

What was this topic about?  

The new name of an online publication and about 4 other things.

The only person with balls in this debate is Lady O, Maybe Helper Guy should have an operation....Really tacky post dude!

Another post I can't read, by a knob I blocked months ago...

                Now that is funny!  Let us know when you get your implant.  Are you such a Narcissist, that you are incapable of having a debate without insulting the poster?

You can block other posters? Great news! Looks like I have a project for this afternoon that will greatly increase my reading enjoyment.

Yes, sambrit, you can block (called Foe here). But, just to clarify, it does not mean you CAN NOT read their posts, only that you may choose not to. If you "Foe" someone, in place of their post is a message saying this post is by a foe and asks you if you want to read it. You click "yes" and it appears. You can read it and then hide it again. It is effective for hiding from eyesight stuff you do not want to see. It is also handy for avoiding responding to posts you´d rather not by saying you "can´t" read it.

The best revenge is to ignore the idiots you disagree with! I gave up a long time ago wasting my time sharing my  opinion. I still hang out on occasion and enjoy a good laugh at other idiotic people trying to change the other people's mind on 85% pure drivel! 

I'm with you, del lago. Especially to avoid the ones that fire off sideways insults every chance they get... yeah, that one knows exactly who I mean.

The people that made this board interesting have abandoned it. There is nothing interesting to read any more. God forbid you hint at world events or something  that is not inline with the only people left spouting their opinion as the only true opinion.

Yes, there seems to be considerable confusion between what constitutes reasoned debate versus, well, plain old snark.

I love a lively or even contentious discussion, but only when people critique facts and opinions, not each other.
