Since you asked, yes: On Emcit, I can participate without having to enter into a business relationship with Cheryl. She therefore gains no lawful right to spam and otherwise carpet-bomb me with marketing (_not_ just on the site but also everywhere else), and I am not bound by a business contract she's written. Nor does she try to prohibit me from finding ways to skip inline advertising. (Despite not paying money to LJ when you open a 'basic account', you are indeed entering into a formal business relationship as their customer, and are forming a contract.) I also have excellent reason to trust to Cheryl's ethics in that and all other aspects of her site, and equally excellent reason (cited) to be skeptical of that of LJ's management and its (mostly pseudonymous) Abuse Team. In general: Cheryl's a friend whom I know and trust. LJ is a business, that I don't know, have zero reason to trust, and have no desire to enter into a customer relationship with. (They may be fine people; that's not the point.) _______________________________________________ basfa mailing list [email protected] http://vesta.wallis.com/mailman/listinfo/basfa
