another interest comment war, on VFTW

VFTW rediscovered PointsHound, posted a referral link for signup on this article

http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfr...-booking-site/

when i read the article, i was like, wow - isn't this the type of thing that is usually done via a conga - so that everyone can get double the bonus? a couple of people (including seth, with some really good points), call him out for backing PointsHound now that a referral exists and all heck breaks loose. interesting read. in the end, apperently PointsHound is giving 2x the bonus the the one who signs up, so it all ends well.

anyhow, one other thing I never understand is the profuse "thanking the blogger" that some commenters often do when someone dares to offer some skeptism. i mean they do realize that 99% of the bloggers are not doing it just because they want to share information - rather they are compensated, sometimes quite well. its like when commenters thank bloggers for a post that pushes a credit card for the 50th time.

ironically, there was quite a bit of unfair criticism on seth in the comments - funny, because he's one of the few guys who DIDN'T sell out. keep calling them like you see them seth!
