I also received a "notice" from Cambridge's Who's Who...funny thing is...I'm a military veteran turned full time college student. I have never worked in the corporate world of young professionals...

Let me add my name to the many others who are appreciative of your article. I received the mailing today and was a bit skeptical, but man, my pride almost won over! I'm glad I decided to research this first. A good ego-check is needed now and then. I even started to think of how proud my family would be when I "humbly" mentioned my recognition..."Oh, it's really nothing."...all the while boasting with pride on the inside over my not-really-there accomplishments in the corporate world. The arrogance of humans is so amusing, and it's especially amusing when a reality check occurs to cause you recognize it in yourself.
Thank you again for your article. Although I'm enjoying this laugh at myself, I sympathize with you over your struggles with them. I wish there was a site for donations for your legal expenses, as I would gladly give money to you for saving me hundreds! Assisting someone else and paying a penance for my pride...that seems fair.
Good luck to you.[ See Responses ]

I prefer to call today's Renaissance man/woman as The Bright Common Man...The BCM practices key skills & habits that humbly cause her to rise to the top. When she connects with likeminded, complementary folk, globally, they will a cumulative, pronounced effect upon the world.
With technology capabilities and the accessability of knowlege available to many, many are exercizing their power to impact their worlds, improving the quality of life.
We're witnessing an epic renaissance. It's a thrilling privlege to be a part of it.

Thanks for the Who's Who info. I got a Cambridge Who's Who invitation and found it fishy that it included a postage-paid reply card and a response deadline. Now it seems like adding any kind of title like that to my resume would just make me look like a sucker.

The renaissance man does indeed thrive in today's society, you must just look harder. Life is there for the taking and learning as much about as much as you can, only makeing for a better soul, a better mind, a better being.
Maybe the modern day renaissance man is in a different form than the heroic polymath. Maybe hiding behind a computer screen or an eisle just not yet discovered for the rest of us to see.
I highly recommend, trying to live in the shoes of a renaissance man. The days are filled with life and the nights are filled with dreams. And each day you can persue you prior nights dream. Life is for the taking.
From strumming a guitar or splashing color or raising a wall to create a room then a building, maybe an invention to dazzle the world, it is all so rewarding, Why only do one thing when you can do everything.

Thank you so much for posting this and for not backing down to the law suit. I received a letter from Cambridge Who's Who dated July 17, 2008. I felt something to be fishy when, at the bottom of the letter in fine print, it stated, "we are proudly not associated or affiliated with any other Who's Who organization."

omg..same here. I went through the same hell of an experience - I talked to the Madisons who's who and they are a huge scam!! as others have posted here, they offered me lifelong membership for $789 and 5 years for $589. The representative very much pressured me on this and asked to give info of my card. I somehow told that I wil respond later, and searched the web - lo and beholod - these people are a whole bunch of scammers...!! I also made a mistake of giving my info to these scammers..

My children and I found one of these in our front yard!!! Yikes!! the scariest thing I'd ever seen, I stared and stared at it... I thought we'd been invaded!!!
Mary Jordahl said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]
We saw the Hickory Horned devil in Alton Il in the Pierre Marquette State Park. We were all so excited as groups of people gawked and stared at this amazing creature. We did not know what it was and are excited to find out.
bas paul said: [ Regarding Canon 10D Err 99 ]
Hi, I had a Canon 10D, a wonderful piece of equipment until the camera became useless because of a fault which generates code ERR99. After trying all suggested solutions (I had only Canon lenses) and sending the camera to Canon for servicing the ERR99 problem persisted.
My solution in the end was to sell all my equipment and buy a Nikon D300 and a new set of lenses.
One lives only once and I dont want to wait for Canon to solve its problems. My advice to all who want to buy a DSLR is to look around, there are now so many other solutions.

I have 10D and 20D i gather the problem you are experiencing would also come from your camera settings and i suggest you check your flash card i.e 4gb+ cards compatability, if the TTL and camera settings + card arn't right when you take the shot you may get a clash with the camera's CMOS hope this helps

Well. I just feel victim to this. That will teach me about not doing my research. Just submitted my info online, so I have yet to receive a call. At least I know what I am in for now. For those of you that received the call and declined to purchase. Have they kept calling you?? Would love to find out. Also, is there anyway you can get your info off the list. Let me know!!!! Ugh so annoyed I feel for it.

See previous post...our specimen was found in Cassville, MO (southwest part of state).
Reid Family said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]
Found a great specimen in our shrubbery across from a young hickory tree. Awesome to view and study then we released it back to the shrubs so it could burrow. The Reids
