No matter how many people have tried to explain it to him, he doesn't seem to get the simple fact that Zango's entire business model is built on screwing over competing advertisers. If Zango stopped, there would be no business model and they would cease to exist. Even after everything has been explained to him he still thinks they are alright cause they have never screwed him over, he doesn't even realize the future ramifications all of his infected surfers will have on his advertisers as well as his own links.
So is the whole uproar over the fact that he didn't admit to making a mistake? Actions speak louder than words. He said he wouldn't sell them advertising anymore. It's a victory for those against Zango. Time to move on.

I'm not defending him for selling the advertising, I'm not even praising him for stopping. I'm just saying that the situation seems to be resolved, he is doing the right thing from now on, so lets just move on. There are much bigger targets in this industry than a guy who sold $500 worth of traffic to Zango at one time.
