FR*E*E Is Ridiculous...Don't You Think?

I have come to realize that nearly every person who sends ads through a safelist or promotes a program that is somewhat unethical and/or shadowy, uses some derivative of the correct spelling of the word FREE. It is my conclusion that every one of them should receive an e-mail from every person who received their ridiculous ad that states "Keep your F*R*E*E garbage to yourself." (Unfortunately, a quote that says something more along the line of "Take This And Shove It..." cannot be completed as we advertise on family friendly sites!)

However, since a normal safelist or solo ad does not give us that personal touch ability, the responsibility needs to be taken by safelist owners, traffic exchange owners, blasters and solo ad senders to completely BLOCK the use of this kind of trash. You know that it won't be anywhere near free, and most likely will be another one of those programs that crash and burn about 2 weeks after it starts.

It may hurt your purse for a month or two as a site owner, when you refuse to sell ad space to these idiots. In the long run, you will grow your reputation as a business man or woman who respects his fellow man, is trustworthy and might just actually give a damn about your well being.

For myself, I just delete those emails permanently. I don't read them, I don't respond to them, and I won't click your link. I would prefer to reach through the computer, smack your head so hard that your grandmother will feel it and ask you what in the name of all that is holy are you thinking? Yes, there is a sucker born every day, but do you have to take advantage of them to make your fortune?

There are many honest programs out there that are getting a bad name from people like this. Honest Internet Entreprenuers MUST band together to fight back against this insane misuse of this F/R/E/E crap. Beginners and experienced members of the internet community, it is time to grow a bit of courage and let them know that we won't enable them to use us and our hard earned money in this way.

Betcha see a lot less F-R-E-E junk laying around your e-mail, your sites and your favorite sites if you take a stand and refuse to put up with this circus any more!
