I haven't read the thread you linked to about your beef with Rick because I don't care. It has just as much to do with the day to day operations of CJ and CJTraffic as Rick Latona does. Extremely little.

This is no dig on Rick by any means. Rick is my best friend and my business partner. He was my boss at the hosting company we worked for before I started CJ. He actually registered ConsumptionJunction.com for me because I hadn't been fully trained on the hosting company's system at the time.

All that said, as the person that's known Rick the longest of anyone in the biz, I'll certainly agree the guy has been known the rub people the wrong way. He's a strong personality. While that bugs the shit out of some people, I cherish it. He's the driving force in our partnership that has always pushed us to make more of our company and more of ourselves.

For the purposes of this thread, and CJ and CJTraffic, if you've got a beef with Rick, take it up with him. He's a big boy and can handle himself. But, do not make the mistake of translating your issues with Rick to into beefs with our company.

I run ConsumptionJunction and CJTraffic.com. If you've got any issues with either of these, I'm your man. Just as we always have, we'll gladly address any complaints or concerns anyone has. And we'll be happy to do so in a public forum should you desire. I do get a bit hurt when a customer is pissed because I bust my ass to make sure my customers are happy. That said, if they're pissed I must have fucked up somehow so I always welcome the chance to make things right.
