Why are her words spam but Anne Bonneys words or your words not spam?
Well, for one thing a lot of us know each other. Anne used to openly post under her real name, even providing her maiden name in order to find and reconnect with old friends. Lot of us have done that. Over the years a lot of us have become friends. Real live, face to face, in real life parties, memorials and other social connects. Some folks even remember Anne from back in the warehouse in St. Pete. And anyone can look up her father's and lots of other program vets' families in newspaper archives and corporate records. So these stories are verifiable and/or corroborated.
No one's making any money on negative information published about this industry. In fact a fair number of people have spent substantial amounts of their personal money to leak this information. When I did try to run commercial advertising, the only ads that came up were for the industry until word got out among the industry and most blocked their ads from appearing anywhere on fornits.com. So then we only got public service ads and never did make any money, even though our traffic was hitting 300k unique visitors per day. Evidently there is absolutely no commercial value to the content on this site.
It's not only about straight cash, either. We've been sued and threatened with legal action, hacked, fraudulently kicked off of servers, shut down via dubious legal claims, etc. Just like WikiLeaks.org. So what is the incentive to say these things and to stand by them with no compensation and, often, at considerable monetary and personal expense?
Question for ya, Whooter. If I were to go ahead and take your offer on FIOS, can I pay for it in Trident Stripes?
