Not on their payrol 
I can understand your concern that as a "newbie" I would be affiliated with them, but I most definately am NOT!!
I've been a "newbie" since 2004 - I am a very busy guy, and don't have a lot of time to cruise these forums and give answers and advice. That is why there have been so few "Beiträge" from my user ID.
I use this forum to keep up on new stuff going on the cell phone industry, because that is my "Employer".
I didn't mean to "Dis" you earlier, as someone commented that I wouldn't "make any friends" with my comment(s). Making friends wasn't my main goal - just trying to see some things in a different light - and possibly one that isn't just negative.
I really appreciate it that you appear to be open-minded and didn't take my comments as a personal "hit" against you.
BTW - I have lived outside of my "home country" for more years now than I have lived in it - voluntarily and in Deutschland, that must say a lot, or?
Take care everybody - and keep in mind that when PayPal becomes a bank - they will have to treat their customers like every other bank. That should put an end to the bogus "freezing of accounts", etc. that they have done before. If it happens after 2 July, they will have to have a damned good reason to do it... and they will have to tell the customers just exactly what that reason is.
Ciao,
