Wow man this really set Shemp off. Personally I don't see anything offensive in the wording rio used. It just sounded like he wanted to know if the listings higher up would get enough traffic to cover the $90 fee.
At the same time though, business is business and it's gotta stay that way. As far as I know, shemp is one of the most helpful guys around. He's always answering questions on the MP board. TGP owners are webmasters too, they're not gods. They have the right to just say fuck it sometimes and delete a submitter or whatever if they want. Not EVERYTHING can be personal, that can only cause problems in a business where there's so much social interaction mixed in.
My

are worth more than any of your

BTW. If you disagree, bring it.
