Philthy here has a hobby business and as such under Australian taxation law is not registered for GST which means his turnover is less than A$50,000 per year. Where he lives and the rents he would paying makes for a very meagre lifestyle if this was his only income. Remember we are talking turnover not profit here. So it is an "educated guess" yes. see http://tinyurl.com/3bfrze > As a characterisation, it may be a little over the top! ...but don't let me > stop you. > Please remember that I and several of my friends in business here have had this guy has *PAY* for company searches on our businesses and then he has proceeded to malign and libel anyone else attached to those businesses in cluding family members. > The only thing I object to is any derogatory allusion to his source of > income. If Phil is suffering from chronic clinical depression, as I suspect > he is, he deserves financial support. The alternatives are worse! > I have no objection to Philthy receiving government assistance *except* he needs to forced to keep on his medications and/or institutionalised without internet access! Also please do not misunderstand my intention here, I am not in anyway belittling anyone who genuinely needs support *BUT* I am having a shot at Philthy who constantly carries on as if he is a grand entrepreneur and has a thriving electronics business. As you have no doubt seen he is constantly having a shot at *anyone* that has a mere glimmer of success attached to them and if in doubt please do a Google Groups search? > As a pensioned disabled carer, the only source of income I have is from that > pension and the only thing that keeps me happy and is music, glorious music. My sincerest sympathies here and am very pleased you can find happiness in music. I believe in genuine cases as yourself the social services are in no way doing enough to help and support people in your situation. I only have a problem with people recieving benefits they are not entitled to. BTW do a Google Groups search on philthy's name and "Autistic" http://tinyurl.com/ysnxme I also apologise in advance for the potential distress you may have in reading Philthy's posts in that link. I make it 836! So please tell me how much he really cares for the sufferes of this condition or the people engaged in their care? Or the numerous times he has told people to "get cancer and die"? I personally find it very difficult to to feel any sympathy for this sad little man and no hardship is too bad to befall him. > > The same goes for my dependant, who is bed ridden. I've built him his own > remote controlled Hi-Fi and entertainment system sitting at the end of his > bed. The necessity to do so on a small income is what compels me towards > DIY. > There will be enornous amout of good quality second hand gear coming on the market as manufacturers push for ever more featured gizmos ;-) Just think what a Playstation 2 will be worth in about 2 weeks ;-) As entertainment box with networking abilty, DVD/CD replay and a HD it may be something to think about perhaps. > > So finally Mark if I have offended you in any way please accept my apology as it was not my intention to disparage anyone except Philthy. Cheers TT
