I get it now... my apologies on the furry.

		<description>seola, you misread that one as well. I&#039;m reffering to the OTHER avatars I use - nothing more and nothing less.

All the other Avatars I&#039;ve used simply do not fit me at all .... the black wolf does, so in essence it is Me.

		<description>On the first one JaT, yes, I read that wrong, so that was my fault, but then yes, it&#039;s sorta true but not in the way it was presented... if that makes sense.

As for furries, I still don&#039;t see how the comment of &quot;avatars are props and costumes except for ME&quot;.  I have a very good friend, who IS a furry and long time ago sat down and talked to me about it all (I had some odd questions and it came up in the conversation).

Who are you to say that&#039;s not who &#039;THEY&#039; are but it is &#039;YOU&#039;?

What makes you so different than others represented as fury avatars?

		<description>I just read the new and final(thread locked!) comment on the blog by Robin Linden, these people must be legally retarded.  I wish they weren&#039;t, but they are seriously limited by their beliefs and IQ.  I am sick of this &#039;watermelons rock&#039; kind of culture(ffs hire some smart ppl instead of happy mongols who love colors), and this;
&quot;We recognize that counting the number of registrations is only one number, and not a particularly meaningful one with respect to the actual population of Second Life.&quot;
Well crap - get counting again, and stop promoting your BS numbers, Signora Doubletalk.  We don&#039;t all believe that you have to touch everything you count, some of us are aware of technology.  More aware than you it would seem.  Read your logs, and here is a really really novel idea which is sure to take off....read the feedback!

		<description>And Seola, if you knew anything about furries this comment wouldn&#039;t have been made:

&quot;

&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;Then again I don&#039;t see Avatar vendors or other such things as anything but props and costumes (with exception to the black wolf I bought. I&#039;m a furry and that is ME).&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;

And that&#039;s not them, but it can be you?

*scratches head again*&quot;

Please do some research.

		<description>seola, this section right here in your comment:

&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;with me, you&#039;ll get your ass verbally handed to you for daring to opine without first knowing the person behind the keyboard or sitting back and taking to time to find out/figure out thing one about the other person.&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;

And you think that people don&#039;t know a thing about you by all your ramblings, yet you can judge someone on thiers? Ironic.&quot;

Was directed at &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; - unless you thought prok was saying he/she would be handing someone their ass.

Topic 420 - Bartering Income

Bartering occurs when you exchange goods or services without exchanging money. An example of bartering is a plumber doing repair work for a dentist in exchange for dental services. The fair market value of goods and services exchanged must be included in the income of both parties.

Income from bartering is taxable in the year in which you receive the goods or services. Generally, you report this income on Form 1040, Schedule C (PDF), Profit or Loss from Business. If you failed to report bartering income on returns you have already filed, you should correct this by filing an amended return, Form 1040X (PDF), for each year involved. For information on amended returns, refer to Topic 308.

A barter exchange is any person or organization with members or clients that contract with each other (or with the barter exchange) to jointly trade or barter property or services. The term does not include arrangements that provide solely for the informal exchange of similar services on a noncommercial basis.

The Internet has provided a medium for new growth in the bartering exchange industry. This growth prompts the following reminder: Barter exchanges are required to file Form 1099–B for all transactions unless certain exceptions are met. Refer to Barter Exchanges for additional information on this subject.

If you are in a business or trade, you may deduct any costs you incurred to perform the work that was bartered. If you exchanged property or services through a barter exchange, you should receive a Form 1099-B (PDF), Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions. The Form 1099–B or other statement generally will show the value of any cash, property, services, credits, or scrip you received from the exchange during the year. The IRS will also receive the same information.

If you receive income from bartering, you may be required to make estimated tax payments. Refer to Topic 355 for additional information.

Additional examples of bartering, and information on how to report the income, are described in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
