I can vouch for Gary, very good long time friend actually. He just tends to be a quite passionate about certain topics. Know I've been there. Just need to get him to post more!
I confirmed the same thing with my Rep. You take down the links or stop promoting, you've terminate the relationship and basically you don't get paid. They say you get paid for the life of your members in their sales pitch, but they don't say, only as long as you promote them.
