But apparently what we do here has value, real financial value.
I recently received an email from a promoter in Florida that said in part,
"I've learned real quick that putting together articles is detracting from getting the site where I want it to be prior to launch and am reaching out to boating sites for reprint and link back permission."I interpret this statement as, "Creating actual content is getting in the way of my making money. Please do it for me."
I want you, the voluntary contributors to Small Boat Projects, to know that I formally and explicitly denied this request. First, because I disagree with it, and second, because it is not my work that is published here, and therefore it is not my permission to give.

Yep. This Florida promoter is a junior version of the Wolf of Wall Street.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your commitment to service, Bob. As you, I have no intention of monetizing my blog, nor do I need anyone to earn money for me with the content I develop.
ReplyDeleteYup, I've gotten e-mail like that. There is for profit, there is not for profit, and there is a difference. We need both, but they are separate.
