Because "Sammy Davis" is trying to get onto a list on which he doesn't deserve to be, and is trying to use the shortest route to get there. Come on, coming right out and saying: "However, Web Hosting Search would like to support your site in some way and possibly get mentioned on your 'Thanks To' page." Wow. So you build a website out of affiliate links to different web hosting sites, "recommend" those sites (how else are people going to know to click and let you get paid?), use less-than-preferable marketing tactics to bring traffic there, and then expect to give us some kind of half-assed article of your choice to get listed alongside folks who have been giving and giving each year more than your site may even make in a lifetime? No offense, "Sammy," but you may want to get a few more years behind the keyboard before writing your next proposal. Because while you may not have intended it to be so, it's extremely offensive and insulting to minimize the generosity and donations by the companies before you, and to think you could be their equal by providing us with a few blocks of text that will most likely try to push people back to your site anyway. Conversely, if that's *not* how you meant it, I'd certainly be willing to take back my own words if convinced.... so how convincing can you be? -- </Daniel P.
