I don't think I ever had any personal contact with the guy, but I will say he ran one of the few bigger sites which kept its trade signup form open and actually returned traffic fairly. I can recall several owners of larger TGPs with open sign up forms who never returned traffic: others who asked you to contact them after sending traffic and then ignored you. Nor did his traffic quality ever go down the toilet like it did for several other big TGPs when they started buying crap traffic and jerking surfers around between themselves, to keep their stats up.

So I guess I should find something positive to say about the end of his business. Difficult, because I cannot tell from what has been written here which offer he accepted first. If it were Pierre's, then he handled it as badly as Shap and others are saying, but if he had already accepted the Wildcash offer, he did the right thing by seeing it through. In those circumstances he should have told Pierre he had already accepted an offer, but would get back to him if it didn't work out. Jerking Pierre around was not professional, however you cut it.
