#1) Pay Him - I won't discuss the financial arrangement we've made, but it is in the two figures.

#2) Pretend to be a relative (preferably one he's never met) - It's best to start these questions with "Dad! Do you remember me?"

#3) Play the discrimination card - start your question with: "Mr. Donaldson, I am a female Black, Hispanic, Native American in a wheel chair, please answer this question."

#4) Threaten Legal Action - End the question with "please answer this, I would hate to get my lawyer involved."

#5) Ask about the Creator - he loves those questions!

#6) Use the name "Michael from Santa Fe" - this works well for some reason.

#7) Put unwarranted and unwanted criticism of his work in the question - these almost always get a response!

And last but not least: Keep the question short and sweet!

Actually that last one is probably the best. ;)


hahaahhaha...i see Michael From Santa Fe ALOT. :biggrin:
