We are entering an "era of responsibility." - Barack Obama

MF might want to address the issues

To the MOTLEY FOOL

Please do not send your promo mail as a blanket response when you receive a personal comment re. your PRO service solicitation from an ex. MDP member. This kind of impersonal response is counterproductive. If it ever dawns on you (MF) to interact with your customer base in a more dignified manner you might well benefit from it.

Following the dire results of Million Dollar Portfolio, it is an insult for any educated individual or MDP member to receive your PRO service hype with a bogus $500.00 rebate and offer that service at a then discounted $1499.00 per year. Your best PR would be to have those who subscribed at the onset of MDP, receive 6-12 months free as a way to offer them the opportunity to recoup their heavy losses incured by following the Garner bros. over the cliff. And if you dare reply (as per MF standardleitmotiv) "no one forced anyone to buy", you deserve having your Foolish headquarters bombarded with rotten tomatoes!

Why would anyone be inclined to trust your new PRO service? As per your hype, MDP was supposed to be the cream of the crop and as we all know your subscribers tanked with it ( including myself) And this, thanks to some VERY poor strategy on the part of the foolish Fools, and quite apart from market conditions. It looks like your due diligence in Ireland re. AIB ( Allied Irish Banks) was done in the pub, and at MDP's expense. AIB pps from $40.00 to $1.03 with no further actions to preserve MDP members investment investment is nothing short than disgraceful.

Your Foolish hype is your worst enemy, your constant promo mails and the conflictive information between the free newsletters and your paid services does not serve you well, or does it entice to continue paying for mediocre advice. As for those that still do, the MF's MDP dire performance, has depleted much of their hard earned money and savings.

Madoff was thought to be a genius to offer his "privileged clients" 8 -12% return and he tanked because it was unsustainable and turned Ponzi to meet his obligations.

If you are the geniuses you pretend, why don't you create a fund that will outperform the markets, and put your money where your mouth is. Or, does the marketing hype bring you a better bang for your buck? The latter is now obvious.

Leading your subscribers down a road you clearly hype and are clearly not accountable for is totally irresponsible.

Food for thought.
