That's so true. If you took everyone out who has done shady business, be it something as simple as SEO spam or things much worse, methinks GFY would be a ghost town...

And you're also bang on about the need to watch out for the "stand up guys" you think you know, in this business or any other. People are a lot different than they appear on the boards or what you see of them at conferences. Adult brings special kind of magic to the mix, though.

It's like if you've ever been in any crisis. You bond with those random people around you, fighting for a common goal. However, had that crisis never occurred, you would never had had the desire to do as much as hold the door open for some of them. This industry seems a lot like that. We catch a lot of flack for doing what we do, so there seems to be this instinctive bonding that goes on. Personally, I enjoy it, but you have to see a lot of it for what it is: we're all trapped together so we are just making the best of it.
