Interesting. The organisation had a much bigger revenue in 2001 = $488,217 than in 2007 = $4303 or 2008 = $5361. I wonder what happened between 2002 and 2006

StopSylvia went live in November of 2006. Her blunder in the Shawn Hornbeck case was on the site in January 2007.
But, while I would love to think that my site had that big an impact on her bottom line that quickly, I think there have to be other factors at play in this.

ExM,
You mention all the time that you were somehow involved with Syliva. Is there a thread that specifically details your story? I searched for posts by you with Sylvia's name and there's over 200 threads going back to 2008, but I didn't notice any with a thread title like "My time on the Dark Side".

Hmm. I don't know that I've ever written anything like that here.
What kinds of things would you like to know?
Maybe I can create a thread with that story. I like the title: My time on the Dark Side. Ha.
I guess it never occurred to me that anyone would be interested, but I could probably write something up.

I'd be interested too, especially how you got interested in her organization and church as well as what others around her think about Browne.

I think I've heard most of it over the last six years or so, and it IS interesting.

Everything I know about Sylvia Browne leads me to believe she ALWAYS knows where her purse is.
