You're a good man Bill.

Men like you and Jim March have a very peculiar form of madness. That ability to focus on the target, to do what needs to be done, to live without comforts and conveniences for the sake of the cause...

I admire that.

I guess I'm just not seeing the causation here.

Quote:

"Under Construction: The site you were trying to reach does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded. Please try this site again later. If you still experience the problem, try contacting the Web site administrator."

Damage assessment: Progressivefunds.com's Linkshare affiliate status was revoked for the reason described.

What? Just because a website is Under Construction? Um...Maybe they're just updating their website?

Do we have any evidence that their linkshare affiliate status was revoked? And if so, do we have any evidence that it was revoked for this specific reason?

Other Victories
SLAM Music (this 501(c)(3) tax-exempt group held a SLAM the NRA concert to raise money for Handgun Control Inc. in July 2000) has not updated its Web site since then. They really shouldn't have posted their concert announcements in Usenet, especially not in talk.politics.guns...

What does not updating a website have to do with anything? There are plenty of organizations, specifically non-profits, who just don't have the time/resources to keep a website properly maintained. That doesn't mean the group no longer exists; it usually means that they are focusing their resources on other areas.

Jeez, I haven't updated my website in a while. Does that mean I died?

Besides, if they did update their website, they might have to put up an "Under Construction" sign, and we all apparently learned what it means when a site is under construction....

Ace Hardware apparently dumps Rosie O'Donnell: credit to talk.politics.guns

People/newsgroups are getting credit for something that we're not even sure happened?

Look, I don't mean to be a wet blanket here. But I'm gonna need a little more proof of the cause and effect that you're telling me.
