MEMO Fatigue?
Memo Fatigue?
After reading the recent posts on this forum, the back and forth about Memo lovers vs. Memo “haters”, it seems to me the issue can partly be explained
as MEMO FATIGUE. A sort of ennui experienced by frequent visitors to this forum. Why, after all, can’t Memo pull it together and provide basic,
informative and polite posts? Memo remains, at best, a third-rate poster.
I believe most Nomads are simply bored with the failure of Memo to live up to his potential.
When will Memo come to grips with reality? Why is the main thread of every post by Memo about name-calling? I’ve been reading Memo for twenty posts
and frankly I have grown weary of the negativism. There are many wonderful posters on this forum that have decided to honor human dignity and respect.
Why Memo is not one of them can be argued all night. Many of us simply don't care anymore.
Experience enables you to recognize a mistake every time you repeat it.

If we quit replying to his posts, he'll quit his negativity.
I do agree with Danaeb that Memo (short for manuel) had a lot of potential but credibility has been highly damaged because of his negativity.

I thought Memo's post about the sale of plastic turds in Ensenada really put him head and shoulders above the hoi polloi of this message board.
But then again, what the hell do I know?
Ni modo.

Lets censure all the Memos on this board because we do not like the message. Its funny that every one can dump on a poster but watch the freak show
when any of the older members in standing take one on the chin. The double standard is alive and well here.
Keep up the posting Memo and do not let the thought police hinder your efforts.....

Double standards? Good bad who's to say?

I've ALWAYS been of the assumption, that life is a double standard. The possibilities are infinite. From 2 menus in MX to immigration traffic
stops in Escondido -- IF you look Mexican. Nothing wrong with double standards unless they are unfair one's. (MX fair, Escondido unfair.)
It is not a double standard to point out assumptions made by a newbie that comes across as a personal affront. Add to that a ''third rate'' writing
style and know it all attitude about real estate in Marin County, and it's, well, lacking. Everyone here expects the best from noMad posters --
sadly, memo has taken the slippery road to decline.
Snobs in Stinson? Not even close! Mill Valley? Yes! We call it Snob Valley in San Rafael. Terra Linda too.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Hey Lee, It appears I really got under your skin with my third rate writing style and vapid comments. Is it possible you are feeling Mexico fatigue
but are afraid to admit it? Diverting the topic from Mexico fatigue to Marin County may work among some of your compadres but not with Memo, the
newbie. Nice try, though. Even so, I defend your right to post here, so keep it up!

I think this old chestnut is owrth repeating;
The American Tourist and Mexican Fisherman
A story similar in spirit to the philosophy of Chuang Tzu
Author Unknown
Version 1:
An American tourist was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked.
Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The tourist complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to
catch them.
The Mexican replied, "Only a little while."
The tourist then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more fish?"
The Mexican said, "With this I have more than enough to support my family's needs."
The tourist then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening
where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life."
The tourist scoffed, " I can help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger
boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell
directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You could leave this small
coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you could run your ever-expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?"
The tourist replied, "15 to 20 years."
"But what then?" asked the Mexican.
The tourist laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you
would make millions."
"Millions?...Then what?"
The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids,
take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."
Version 2:
The American Dream
An American businessman was standing at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small
boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish.
"How long it took you to catch them?" The American asked.
"Only a little while." The Mexican replied.
"Why don't you stay out longer and catch more fish?" The American then asked.
"I have enough to support my family's immediate needs." The Mexican said.
"But," The American then asked, "What do you do with the rest of your time?"
The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take a siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each
evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."
The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds you buy a bigger boat, and with
the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats."
"Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the consumers, eventually opening your own can factory. You would control the
product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC
where you will run your expanding enterprise."
The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"
To which the American replied, "15-20 years."
"But what then, senor?"
The American laughed and said, "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO (Initial Public Offering) and sell your company
stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions."
"Millions, senor? Then what?"
The American said slowly, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your
kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos..."
Version 3:
The Mexican Fisherman
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took
him to catch them.
"Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a
few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs...I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
"You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the
extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
"Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then
leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? That's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling
stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?"
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and
spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends!"
Now then, who's got it together in those scenarios?
When the way comes to an end, then change. Having changed, you pass through.
