Your deal at the time was, put our recip on your galleries and we'll list it. I did that, and got no listing. So, in effect, you stole my inbound links -- you induced me by false promise to create inbound links to you. Your advertising at the time was not the usual TGP "submit and maybe we'll list" promise; it was a much stronger "we will list all galleries with recip" promise, and you didn't keep it.

Not that I want to make a big deal over this. Hell, I can't say I haven't screwed up reciprocal linkage deals my own self. I wasn't trying to create drama here. But the thread author asked for experiences with you guys, and mine was not positive, so I shared it.
