Here's my take on the shaving thing, and correct me if some of you don't feel this way...
When I contract a programmer to do work for me, sometimes the work may be for something exclusive to my own site, but other times (most of the time) the contract is for them to do the work, after which I own all the source code and rights to the work. This is so that if I decide to later on, I can license the program to someone else.
So... if I were having an affiliate program coded, I would have as many features put in as possible that I felt would help in the future should I decide to license it out. Some of these features would be things I wouldn't use myself, like a shave percentage, but I'd damn sure have it coded in since the big affiliate software has it as a feature as well. If I want to license out my software, I want to be able to compete on a level field.
Not saying that this is what multisexsite had planned, but unless you have complete intimate knowledge of a situation you might not get the whole gist of what's going on. To accuse multisexsite of shaving simply because he wanted that feature built in to the software he was buying may actually be wrong. I don't know multisexsite other than the fact that he uses our ******* program, so I can't claim to know what the real idea behind the thing was either.
If multisexsite didn't let Alky know that the software wasn't up to par with what he expected, then for the sake of getting out of this huge drama circle I think he should pay Alky $200 and call it a day. Don't burn the money. What good would that do? Pay the guy and chalk it up to a loss, then never work with him again and let other people know about your experience. Word of mouth (and posted ICQ logs violating client privacy priviledges) goes a long way.
