If it's ok for me to outbid you on a major SE like iFriends does on MSN, it's ok for me to outbid you on a third party SE that supports adware too right?
Regarding the percentage at which I care, hard to put a number on it. I see my sales generally steady or increasing with my major sponsors so apparently it isn't currently having a significant effect. If that happens before a law is passed I will switch sponsors to try to improve things rather than banging my head against a brick wall as it seems you are doing now.

since everything is connected some come of way, that would make everything either good or everything bad. Is that your logic, well this search engine accepts spyware traffic, and a link list that i buy ads from is listedon that search engine so I am bad too then? It's not that black and white. That's a cop-out. That is just as bad as Lars rationalization, everyone else is doing it. SO that makes it ok for you to do ? You are trying to say it is all connected so it is all bad. Which is not true. You have to start at the source of the problem and deal with it.
You may think the efforts that are being made here by me and others are a waste of time and not worth your time. If we don't succeed at making a difference then I hope your ratios keep going good, if not, then down the road somewhere you might have wished you particiapted earlier and was a little more proactive.
The problem with this industry is there is too much here and now, I don't care about tomorrow and i only care about me attitudes....
