I?d be curious to know how much business those people that cry out SPAM actually make on the boards! It?s something that has always irritated me?I know there?s a specific forum for announcement, but there?s a HUGE difference between spamming and networking!

What are your thoughts?
I agree. While the "drive-by" spam (a purely self-serving commercial message from some numbnutz who doesn't spend any time here) is resented, I would think we're here to learn more about the biz, and that includes knowing where you go to get traffic, who can design a site, who can process memberships and referrals, who sells what kind of content, etc., is what it's all about.

Or is this just a board for bullshit?
