Oh come on, no one buys into cranial-sacral therapy..at least think of something good that a slick prick can actualy talk you (or at least me) into trying...something like Insulin Potentiation Therapy low does chemo (it sounded good!)...(which almost killed me).
You've always struck me as someone who has a high standard of ethics, I'm not challanging that at all atticus. My point with the above email was that this is Baron's business, and if he thinks that the moderating time that Chaos has put into the site is worth $X worth of advertising why shouldnt he be able to decide that? I don't see it as being too much different then doctors and hospitals taking different prices for the exact same treatment from different patients based upon insurance. Do you?
Also, direct mail is a bitch in the medical world. I've worked with a few Chiropractors and Cosmetic Surgeons....it can be very profitable..but its a very complicated dance. I cant remember the name of the regulation now, but one that is a major pain in the ass is one that prohibits them paying for each customer to an advertiser.
