So, we are in total agreement, I do see the marketing aspects, site activity, but at some point I'd think ethical presentations trumps a few more clicks.While the poor information sparked more activity in this thread, I and other could be spending our time with more educational matters, like getting into creative transactions that are legal, but can't even go there due to all the fires started with bad info.
