Actually I think that the use of subliminal messages and sales
techniques (which includes hypnotic patterns) is against the law in the
US.  If I recall this was brought up in the news in the 80's.

Heh, that would be fraud then, for "hypnotic selling secrets"
that don't work

Their "hypnotic" web pages made me want to puke, both from style

Icky ? The biggest reason I think this is a scam is -- he obviously hasn't 
read his own book.  I couldn't get through more than like 2 screens of that 
site before I started just hitting page down.

It was a trance -- the "Eyes glazed over I have no idea what I'm reading and 
I don't care" type. The type that doesn't generate many sales.

Exactly. Sometimes you have nothing to go on but the 'feeling' that you are
being fed a load of horse crap. Even some of the people who always cry for
whitlisting on SURBL felt a little fishy about this one. So we give the
benefit of the doubt for the first time. But if we find you did feed us a
load, then yeah you get pounded back to the stoneage. 

NO domain is added to SURBL on 'feeling' alone. There is a hell of a lot of
work that goes on. And for some to make a flipit comment about me trying to
use SURBL for my own morality gains pisses me off like you wouldn't belive.
And I'm willing to defend against that statment all damn day!

And Chris, if they do spam, we need to crucify them this time.  Not just
the domain, let's do a lookup of every domain the company owns and add
them as well...  

Matthew, 

It's not a morality thing!  It's just we're tired of being spammed by
shady people.

Partiality towards spam? I won't list it unless it is spam. I guess you are
not on the whitelist group, so you have missed the entire discussion we have
had with this domain. We have been in close contact with the owner. We have
actually already removed them. 

So you might not have all the facts to judge me on some sort of witch hunt.
I'm sorry if my initial email looks that way. 

I'm asking for people to keep an eye out for this one. What, now I can't
mention any particular domain that I'm interested in listing? WTH kind of
logic is that? If you think this is so cut and dry then go ahead and make
your own SURBL server. You will soon find yourself adrift in a sea of grey
like the rest of us. 

It simple, they got on the list. They begged, kicked, moaned, and talked
their way off. They still look somewhat spammy. I'm asking for people to
watch for them. If they don't spam, they have nothing to worry about. 

End of story.

I need a shower after we removed this domain from SURBL:
hypnoticsellingsecrets.com 

I would like to know if anyone gets a report of spam that has this domain in
it. They just make me feel all icky. The more I read their site, the more I
wished we didn't remove them. But...I need a spam. 

Thanks.
