Congrats on the new gig. My offer to hook you up with True/Slant still stands if you have any interest in that; as I mentioned before, it's very easy money, and with the following you have, it would be easy for you to get the 15,000 hits/month necessary for the extra $250 (which is to say, $500 altogether for what would probably amount to perhaps six or seven hours of work on your end, and you retain the rights to all of it as well). Let me know if you'd like me to get you in touch with the folks over there. 

Regards,

Barrett Brown

Unethical?  Did I say that?  Or did I say self-interested -- even at the expense of hurting someone who has been kind to you?

I'm pretty sure it was the latter.

Jeff-

Don't call someone a "whore" and accuse him of unethical behavior if you don't want that person to point out that you've called him a whore and accused him of unethical behavior. I shouldn't have to explain this to you.

Figured you'd feel it necessary to take a shot at me.  Just can't help yourself, can you.   Congrats.  That in fact makes you part of the union.

Thanks so much, Barrett.
