Or is that someone who writes out a check to Zango (or to an affiliate who pays Zango) is somehow not stealing traffic as surely as if he wrote the code himself and planted it directly onto your server?
By extension I don't get the talk about friendship, liking etc either. Unless you are kidding yourself that traffic hijacking isn't really theft, how naive (at best) do you have to be to rationalize theft away according to the way it is done and the amount involved? Simple question: what kind of "friend" would steal from you?
I can respect the heck out of someone who beats me fair and square. And if I respect someone, there is a pretty good chance I might like him/her too. But respect or like someone who clearly thinks I'm just another mug to be suckered? What kind of of fool would that make me?

And you too are making the insane assumption that I am all for Zango or anything? We don't do business with AFF, Homegrown does not use/allow/promote Zango. Why is it that you folks assume because I don't jump on a bandwagon and lynch Lars that I'm all behind everything he does and says and hanging on every word? Cripes jayeff I figured at least YOU would be smarter than that. Lars hasn't treated me anything other than respectfully in person, he's actually helped me a few times personally, I like him a lot. Does that mean that I think his company did the right thing? HELL NO. Please, get your stories straight in your effort to be right. I AGREE WITH YOU PEOPLE ALREADY, being wrong doesn't make Lars a bad person though.
And if you want to see how strongly I think Zango is bad, and all forms of adware and spyware are bad, keep your eyes peeled. You post in the same forums I do, why not go back and read a few key threads, or better yet, hit me up on icq. 3522039.
