Some time back I blasted most adult webmaster resource sites with a press release for my site http://www.patentthea.com which pokes fun at the current trend towards "discovering" you own patents for internet technology and trying to charge for licenses.

Then I watched the "announcements" pages carefully, and not a single webmaster posted my press release. I came to the conclusion that most webmaster's did not realize it was a joke and thought I was genuinely trying to screw money out of people, so binned the press release. A friend of mine thinks that most people are not that stupid and that the reason is that most adult resource webmasters are being paid by Acacia to suppress anything that put them in a bad light. Whichever was true (or, more likely, if there is a third reason) my press release for http://www.patentthea.com never saw the light of day.

Or so I thought, but I was just going through my stats log and saw that a while back I got a few hits where the referring page was greenguysboard.com, at some point you guys must have actually published my press release. So congratulations guys on being the only resource webmasters with a sense of humor (or the only ones intelligent enough to realize that http://www.patentthea.com was a joke, or the only ones not in the pay of Acacia, or whatever).

Thanks.
