Not to knock John, and I really mean that because I like the guy and I like NATS and use it myself ... but that saying, "the age of the affiliate" got me to thinking.

Imagine if you will walking in to the Chevrolet dealership down the road and saying "Hey guys, I'm going to take a couple of those Caddys, 4 Jimmys, 2 G6's and a handful of Vibes up the road to my lot and market them for you. When they sell, you guys can give me half..."

That'd be humerous enough if it ended there, but consider ...

" ... I'm also going to need a handful of your sales pamphlets, some promotional t-shirts and a copy of that huge banner you have above the lot. Just send that stuff down with a lot boy, who while he's around can hang the banner and give the cars a good wash for me."

"Also, I'm going to go ahead and charge my power and utilities to you, you don't mind, right? And I'll be using your phone lines and operators, because I don't want to handle any customer service really. Oh and to get it out up front, if there's any problems outside of either my or your control, well, I expect you to compensate me anyway."

I wonder how that'd go over?

Is the age of the affiliate starting or closer to an end?
