I'm sure the FTC explained this to you when they told you to stop calling them.
too bad GFY doesn't tell you to stop calling.
what a bitter fool you must be to have the time and interest to chase your betters around on chat boards like it means anything.

Ron...you are such a puffed up fool, aren't you.
You are lucky that some on this board can be fooled by your techniques. But, I have faith in the others. So, you may have your supporters..but there's the other 90% that see your practices for what they are. So, I accomplish what I need to accomplish..which is exposing the crooks in this industry. So, keep on shoving your "ad supported software" on the unexpecting public. Sad thing is, I think you even believe your own spin.
And my intent is clear...we both know that this board is populated mainly by young kids....and a handful of program owners that want to get the new kids in their programs. I am not looking for anyones' respect..just showing them the way this business really works, so that hopefully they choose to promote the few programs that will make them money, without cheating the consumer. You, on the other hand are on this board purely for the idolization of these same kids. In my books that smells a bit like a pedophile, or at the least, a very insecure person.
Case in point, I would be the one that only shows up at GFY when I have a valid point to make. You, on the other hand are always minutes behind any post that mentions your name. It sounds like one of us does in fact have a self esteem issue. I for one couldn't care less who you are (or in this case, who you "think" you are). But I do care what you are doing to this industry...and for that I will continue to take pride in taking you to task.
Good luck with your non-intrusive "ad-supported" software. And my apologies to the folks at funwebproducts who provided this explanation of their product, Boy, silly me thinking this was intrusive. And I apologize for all the folks at McAfee, Norton, & virtually every security board on the net that have classified this software as a significant risk. What were we thinking. Vivi La
