Not really surprising, considering the source (FW). I'm sure there are countless more people that appreciate him compared to the few idiots giving him trouble there.

And JS, if you're ever looking for a new forum to post your great deals, I can think of a site... :)

I just started goingback to FW, was shocked to see how many folks are registered there now. But the friendly feel of it is not like in the old days, thats for sure. To many punks, though Tim still does a good job policing.

Well, slightly OT, but I must say I'm surprised to hear he's Canadian...
I wish the Hot Deals forums would be different, with a special subsection for Canadian deals... such as it is, I never go there, since everything is mostly related to U.S. stores.

You just contradicted yourself.

Not really...he's a good guy/poster in that he posts a lot of deals and tries to help people out, but a significant amount of his 'deals' are just sales/clearances/whatever (nothing special) that you can find at any website for yourself. A lot of people probably find that annoying or think of it as nothing special.

I think it's at least good that he tries to contribute to the Hot Deals forums and it's not like none of his posts are any good.

JS, even though I never have taken advantage of your deals, one of your "text enjoys" may indirectly be the way that I found my S.O. I, for one, can't thank you enough.

I liked him until I learned in this thread that he's Canadian ;) kidding! anyone who spends their time looking for deals to help people he doesn't even know is ok in my book.

This is one of those situations where # of posts and duration of membership are pretty meaningful... Any noobs giving him any flak should just be banned. (provided he hasn't finally done something to warrant any flak... I haven't seen any places though (although he did a repost of a deal I found once :) ))

You guys know he's really a sophisticated algorithm released on the net by Amazon, right? He even predates all the fake Amazon sites that get all the google hits. I didn't know he was a doggone Canadian algorithm though

Fatwallet's full of whiney soccer moms

Actually, soccer moms are pretty polite. They have their own HD forums and they rarely b1tch at each other. One of them is a nutcase from what I know and went to FW to badmouth those soccer moms.

FW is to well known for it's own good now.
Now it is full of morons who keeps posting about scammy deals from yahoo sites.
All they do is b1tch and moan.
