No, I don’t think so…

Besides the obvious ramifications with the good folks who’ve busted their butts to put b5media together and make it work within their business model - it would simply pi** me off to think that someone is trying to get over on the comment system!

With the caveat that I might be wrong, January has apparently given rise to some folks who may be using the comment box to post what I believe are probably “paid” ads. I’ve already approved a couple but am looking at it differently today because I’ve seen more that have distinguished themselves by their similarities.

This is a topic that was discussed months ago elsewhere and at some length. If indeed it has come to pass, be forewarned, we haven’t forgotten…

Here’s one example - approved - Beth commented on The Future Is About To Unfold;

“Cell Phone Marketing is no where near where it could be and some of the new ideas that are growing everywhere it is going to take off quickly. I really enjoy your website I was lucky enough to be directed here by http://www.JamesBrausch.com and I’m glad I took his advice and checked it out. I’ll have to thank him.”

Heck, I even replied to Beth! I know of James Brausch. One small difficulty though - a link to Workboxers could not be found at James Brausch’s. I let it slide…

Jim Lee mentioned James again a short while after Beth’s comment offering a couple of links that seem valid to the conversation. Once again I approved them. And, once again, I could find no reference to Workboxers at Brausch’s blog.

Two days later, I believe “they” “got” me again when Jessie commented about Nemeas. Yes, I spend time at The Warrior forum and have seen discussions about Nemeas. I approved one more comment. Then, I thought - wait a minute! You see, Jessie had misspelled Nemeas. I thought so and Googled it. Then I checked the Whois and guess what? Yep, James Brausch owns the domain!

Well James, no more… and be reminded I can remove those comments if I feel aggravated enough or if someone from b5 requested I do that. I’m sure you paid those folks to post those comments. One more “thing” James. You’re supposed to be working an “honest” program! ‘Nuff said about that…
