Subj: Thanks for the lifetime membership / interesting draft I found from last year.

Tsm,

Thanks for the lifetime membership. Even though I would have attempted to win a free renewel each year anyway, the distincion of the first "lifetime membership" is superb, and I appreciate it.

I thought that the draft below was fitting for this occasion. I wrote it to you in mid June 1999, just after I joined TSM, but for some reason never sent it. It's kind of funny if you read the last part - I didn't even have a digital camera, hadn't taken a photo with any camera in 5 years, and still I was predicting that I'd get a free membership! Guess that was an understatement.

Note that BB introduced me to TSM, was he supposed to get something for the referral? You should start a program like that, I've referred many. Maybe a certain number of referrals entitles one to a free membership. Or send a gift certificate to Condomania.com, or another related site.

Enjoying the life...

June 1999

TSM,

I received my username and password in fewer than 24 hours. Thanks. Just out of curiosity, why isn't the process instantaneous? I think you're losing the business of would-be impulse buyers.

I became familiar with TSM while travelling in Costa Rica this past weekend, where I met three other TSM'ers. (For two of them, I'll have to check out their handles in TSM to give them due credit without divulging information they may not wish to give.) I met one of them, called Bogey, earlier this year at Help discotheque in Rio de Janeiro, where I live. We've kept in touch via Email since we met, but he never mentioned TSM to me until this past weekend.

By enormous coincidence, BB and I ended up on the same plane to San Jose last Friday. As we were getting off the plane, he introduced me to his friend (another TSM'er) with whom he was travelling. I decided to stay in the same hotel that they had planned to stay in, El Presidente. The next day we ran into yet another TSM'er, "Miami Dave", who was immediately identifiable by his TSM pins on each side of his collar. Over the weekend, the three of them told me much about TSM. Being the true connoisseur of women that I am, I decided joining was a must.

I should be able to contribute some useful information to TSM on the Brazil scene, as I have lived here for four years and have travelled extensively throughout the country. But as a word of warning, be prepared to refund my subscription dues. I'll soon be sending plenty of photos of the most delectable local talent with accompanying stories of the experiences. Just you wait...

Glad to be aboard!

Tsm:

Well, glad to have you aboard and your photos (and stories) are the best I‘ve ever seen on Tsm. I‘ve always thought we had the best amateur collection (1,000 of photos) on the net and your additions make it even better than I eve imagined.

As for the process not being instantaneous, well it is when one joins for 30 days, when you purchase all the products or renew. When we Tsm sends out the passwords (where we create it for you) it can take up to 48 hours -- we manually do this, so it is time consuming!

Keep the photos coming and thanks again for your contributions!
