Another example of this biz being it's worst enemy Marc.

Can remember earning very serious money from this before the term "dialer" was even used - then along came the scammers and the "dialer" term was founded - then everyone and his dog became a "dialer agent"

BTW... Agree with the rest of your post - the basics and principle still still remain valid as an earning tool
