Nitelizard, while I agree with you on one level.... it's not like we MAKE them download and use the software babe. I totally undersatnd where you are coming from and respect that, so don't you dare think I am looking for a fight, I am not about that.

However, it is no more my responsibility if they use the dialer and rack up a phone bill than it is any other sponsor who has a guy that runs like crazy and pops that card number into every form that asks for one and then gets a Credit Card Bill for an unreal amount of money all because he was horny that one night in his dark bedroom with his dick hanging out in the wind.

Dishonest? Nahhh........ they have the rules and the rates right in front of them... same as any other sponsor, there are terms and if they don't follow them then this is not our problem, whether we are dialer sponsors or cc billed sponsors, right? Every dialer software I have ever had experience with will tell them in the terms what it will cost per minute just like the sites using strictly CC's will tell them how much they are rebilled. If they don't see the "rebill" part, is that sponsor then dishonest because the surfer didn't see that part? Hell no!!! LOL

I used to have the same ideas as you have about all of this, but in all the time I have been working for a Dialer sponsor, I have also done my research on them.. and I personally would never pay $2.99 per minute for access to a porn site, but I wouldn't do it for a Psychic, or a 1-900 number or anything else, but there are a shitload of people who do it everyday.

I know this came off a bit harsh, and it wasn't my intention...... I just wanted to speak on the side of the dialers on this. It's a great source of income, bottom line. And if they are dishonest then so are those 900 numbers and Psychic lines.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for the nice words, brux...
