			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>No, I don&#8217;t think so&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>Besides the obvious ramifications with the good folks who&#8217;ve busted their butts to put <a href="http://www.b5media.com/" target="_blank">b5media</a> together and make it work within their business model &#8211; <strong><em>it would simply pi** me off to think that someone is trying to get over on the comment system!</em></strong></p>
<p>With the caveat that I might be wrong, January has apparently given rise to some folks who may be using the comment box to post what I believe are probably &#8220;paid&#8221; ads. I&#8217;ve already approved a couple but am looking at it differently today because I&#8217;ve seen more that have distinguished themselves by their similarities.</p>
<p>This is a topic that was discussed months ago elsewhere and at some length. If indeed it has come to pass, be forewarned, we haven&#8217;t forgotten&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one example &#8211; approved &#8211; <a href="http://www.bizzia.com/2008/01/07/the-future-is-about-to-unfold/#comment-54688" target="_blank">Beth commented on The Future Is About To Unfold</a>;</p>
<p><span id="more-127189"></span></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Cell Phone Marketing is no where near where it could be and some of the new ideas that are growing everywhere it is going to take off quickly. I really enjoy your website I was lucky enough to be directed here by http://www.JamesBrausch.com and I’m glad I took his advice and checked it out. I’ll have to thank him.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Heck, I even replied to Beth! I know of James Brausch. One small difficulty though &#8211; a link to Workboxers could not be found at James Brausch&#8217;s. I let it slide&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bizzia.com/2008/01/17/self-publishing/#comment-57554" target="_blank">Jim Lee mentioned James</a> again a short while after Beth&#8217;s comment offering a couple of links that seem valid to the conversation. Once again I approved them. And, once again, I could find no reference to Workboxers at Brausch&#8217;s blog.</p>
<p>Two days later, I believe &#8220;they&#8221; &#8220;got&#8221; me again when <a href="http://www.bizzia.com/2008/01/22/seo-tools-keyword-density/#comment-57780" target="_blank">Jessie commented</a> about Nemeas. Yes, I spend time at The Warrior forum and have seen discussions about Nemeas. I approved one more comment. Then, I thought &#8211; wait a minute! You see, Jessie had misspelled Nemeas. I thought so and Googled it. Then I checked the <a href="http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/results.jsp?domain=nemeas.com" target="_blank">Whois</a> and guess what? Yep, James Brausch owns the domain!</p>
<p>Well James, no more&#8230; and be reminded I can remove those comments if I feel aggravated enough or if someone from b5 requested I do that. I&#8217;m sure you paid those folks to post those comments. One more &#8220;thing&#8221; James. You&#8217;re supposed to be working an &#8220;honest&#8221; program! &#8216;Nuff said about that&#8230;</p>
