Then they can use more appropriate channels. I consider my messengers to be for my use, not that of annoying salespeople- think of it as telemarketing and be happy to be simply ignored

On one hand, I hate icq so I would have to agree. ICQ is much like a phone call. You have to stop what you are doing and answer.

On the other, I have done quite a bit of business via icq in the past. When someone I was with opened a new site that seemed to fit perfectly with a freesite, I talked to the freesite owner on ICQ.

But to just blindly go after affiliates using ICQ is just wrong

As for picking sponsors, I do my very best when offering advertising here on GGandJ. If I find anything at all devious, I don't offer advertising. And, we have had a couple of sponsors that got a little funny after we allowed them in and we dropped them. I do reject more advertisers than I accept here.

It's just as easy to find a trustworthy sponsor for anyone to use. Do just a little research and you will either find out they are worthy of your traffic or not.
