Hey JP,

Looks like the length of your post might have scared a few off! ;D

Those who have mentored me along the way have instilled the importance of reputation above all. For example if someone comes to me and says hey I ordered through your link where's my bonus..I'll check and see they did not in fact order through my link...well I'll set them up with it anyway...good will goes a long way in my view.

Here's the irony in that however...that is a blackhat tactic used by some to get bonuses and access to members areas etc. I don't worry about because it is few and far between and I keep my reputation in tact.

What you are referring to is cookie stuffing and some have tried it and found themselves banned from areas when they get caught....so it ends up not paying off after all.

my 02 cents.
