It's been my experience that MSM and aggregator types absolutely hate it when those poor, amateur, idiot, and untrustworthy-as-news-sources bloggers ask for details up front, and this was no exception. The conversation through email was something like this, in paraphase: <br/><br/>Her: "Could we set up a time to talk so that I can give you a verbal hard sell on this deal, including some crapola about how it'll drive more traffic to you?" Me: "If this is a serious offer, you can put some details in an email first." Her: Sound of crickets chirping. I've retained the emails for use in exact quotes later, if need be. I ain't shy. Wuz gunna post on it, but now ya beat me to it, padnuh.<br/><br/>Have you read the "Terms & Conditions for Publishers" yet?
