See how the boozo avoids the question. Open and honest my arse!

People who say "arse" need a good kick in the ass!

I assume "no game before its time" actually means "no game before I've found someone dumb enough to publish it for me" but that's not what I asked.

You claim to have been in talks about this game with members of the business community so answer the question: when you discuss the game with them do you mention the website and your status as a prophet?

What's your problem, John, do I ask you if you refer to yourself as an asshole to the business community?

You're the one that said you had nothing to hide but obviously you do. It would seem that you're at least sane enough to realise that no one is going to do business with someone who makes the sort of claims you make on here though so it adds some credence to the view that you're just a common troll rather than mentally ill.

John, if I had anything to hide, do you think I'd have a website designed by God that drives people like you nuts?

God's a website designer now is he? Is he happy with your denial of him when you speak to potential business partners? I suppose it's a sort of web-21st-century version of Gethsemane but if he did design it why does it say Tim Bradbury designed it (yes, just to stroke your ego I have looked at your website)? Assuming Mr Bradbury doesn't claim to be God (would that make him your boss?) does he know that you're saying the website was divinely created and it wasn't him that did so?

Well, you know, I just say it was designed by God because it certainly wasn't designed by Tim Bradbury. I was just looking for a simple website to display my PDF material, and I solicited web designers through guru.com. I must have received a dozen or more inquiries from around the world. The reply I got from Tim was something like, "I didn't read the entire PDF file, but it's bizarre to say the least. I have a design in mind that will lend power to the concept." He certainly didn't offer the lowest price, but let me ask you a question, would you have even considered a guy who said your material was bizarre and that he only read part of it? The mystical thing is that I hired him at all. He only took a couple of days to complete the job, but what he came up with was a design that showed an understanding of the material so deep it couldn't have been accomplished by anybody else on Earth.

He was probably grateful for the easy money.

See, John, even when I carefully try to explain things and put them into perspective for an audience, they still go for naught.

Bob, imo, from a technical perspective and given the software tools available, a website such as your own could be created in hours - including reviewing the design with you. However I do realise, from personal experience, that website designers can oversell the cost of their product - a family friend insisted on choosing a basic website design for £3k from a ISP, rather than accept the kind offer from another family member, who actually was a web designer, to do it for free - or perhaps maybe a nice Rioja :).

Get a grip, you haven't answered one question so far.

In answer to your question, yet again, never, as I have no interest in your godbothering game.
