Jokersmoker absolutely deserves respect and much thanks. Unfortunately, often is the case where those posting deals are treated with ill-will for one reason or another. So needless, in most cases - he obviously works very diligently at finding, posting, and even correcting (when necessary) a multitude of hot deals.

Rest assured you are greatly appreciated, JS.

My kids have way too many great toys thanks to you! Great deals too hard to resist.

I don't have anything against him, but, the 'text enjoy' thing sucks. If you are going to post a deal take the time to post the details too. Otherwise it's basically post count +1 and wastes peoples time who have to go and click the link to see it's (usually, for me) just another average deal I could have found on froogle. I appreciate someone looking for deals but, as he stated, there are enough hot deals out there that he doesn't need to keep them fresh by posting average stuff w/ such limited info that forces people to click 'em.

Well, he has a right to post crap as everyone else, and I won't bump his threads to complain about it. I don't think others should do that either. But, if you post a thread (this one) asking for my support, well, he doesn't have it other than I agree if someone doesn't like it they should just move on to the next thread.

/Summary: Would have my support if he'd just post details of the deal in the thread body, especially if it's an average deal.

what you talkign about? the guy spent so much time searching for deals, he simply doesn't have much time to post details. Why don't you try and post 10 deals a day?

That's crap, it doesn't take very long to post Price + any PM/Coupon/Rebate stuff, maybe a minute tops for a hunt/peck typeist. It's just laziness, which I don't understand? After spending that much time searching, a few more moments to post details is really nothing.

And, even if it takes so long to type because of some handicap or something, the deals really aren't that hot either. Just decent sales. So, my comment is to spend a little less time searching for new ones and add details in the post of the others. Quality > Quantity.

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion and that's mine. I'm not posting 10 hot deals a day, or a year, so, take it for what it's worth. :) Jokersmoker should keep posting regardless what I or anyone else likes, if it makes him happy.

Not a FW member, so here goes my support...

All deals, no fluff. JokerSmoker is the man.
Even if you don't get in on all his deals, you gotta respect the guy for being consistent for the years he has. The guy either has a great job where he doesn't have to work, never sleeps, or both.
If there was a hot deal hall of fame, he would be the first inducted in. No doubt about that.
