Smile Hey - Rick Butts here - thanks for the review!

I really appreciate all you are saying here about my site / idea etc.

You know, I created this approach and stuck my neck out against the flow of the status quo - and I really had no idea on what the reaction of the market would be.

One thing I have learned for the umpteenth time in life - is that people HATE change.

On the audio on the site - I do a monologue about the ideas I had for this concept - and the barriers that exist - and in it I talked about the fact that we've all become "preconditioned" by the existing paradigm.

We open far too many of those emails knowing full well that they are hyped out marketing distractions - and either we do it to goof off - or convince ourselves that they are some acceptable form of news.

Many people have expressed to me that they wish they could get off all these lists but are afraid they'll miss something.

Anyway - since you were discussing the viability of 1AffiliateLink.com I felt like you may be interested in my input here.

At this point - it is up in the air what will happen. IF - and IF IS A BIG IF - people choose to reject the crappy way things are now - and start emailing the big boys back and asking them to send good info instead of thinly veiled marked up offers - much will change.

But if people wait around looking at each other - apathy - and wait for someone else to do "something" then this idea may die in the crib.

I'm all for carrying the flag in the revolution - but I'm not going to go around trying to pick up the comatose off the ground.

Thanks for kicking this idea around - and PLEASE do come back to the site and get on the notification list - and comment - I'd LOVE to get your feedback.

I plan to survey the notification list and find out how YOU want this thing to be.

Thanks again,
Rick
