SOrry, I just want to add this:
A "position statement" would require you to take a position. Your post was an "excuse statement" or a "I didn't have sex with that woman" statement. Position statement would involve things like:
"We will not buy any more traffic from any toolbar companies"
"We will not accept affiliates buying traffic from toolbars and sending it to us"
"We do not support or encourage malware, installware, spyware, or other"
"We will not do business with companies that purchase traffic from toolbar companies"
"We will take all legal action possible to protect the interests of our company and our valued affiliates".
Now, THOSE would be position statements...
Knock yourself out
