Sure of course.
But in the big picture... most everyone works with or has worked with lots of "grey" businesses. I can list 100 companies that fall under this "grey"area.
The industry is at a turning point right now. 2-3 companies control 80% of the traffic (i may be woirng on the numbers- but its close). These companies built themsleves by building shady tube sites, doing shady deals and generally just being shady.
If we dont get that the consumer is the lifeblood of this industry and dont turn our backs on the old addage "Theres a sucker born every minute" you will see more companies closing down, more people losing their jobs, and more webmasters flipping burgers at Micky D's.
I love this industry with a passion that most people dont. I like money, but first and foremost I am in this business becuase I feel like its a family. (Sure some of the family will stab you in the back first chance) but still a family.
I truly enjoy the way we work, the way we play and the way we interact. If someone doesnt want to be my friend for a business decision - more power to him or her. I know that my real friends will be there through thick and thin.
Sorry for my rant, but I cant sleep.
