I'm not gonna name names here, just feel like ranting.

I love finding a great program to promote but when the affiliate manager is an idiot and underqualified to do his/her job, it doesn't inspire confidence in the program.

Before I even start promoting, more often than not when I email about certain tools offered (like RSS feeds, for example) I get responses like "What do you need those for?" and sometimes even, "What's that? How do I find that?" or even "We don't have a need for those. Sorry"

I understand not every affiliate manager has developer/webmaster experience, most probably just have customer support experience and nothing else, but honestly, if you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, don't ask me to school you. You look lazy and not qualified to do your job and I'm left thinking that the program I'm trying to promote is not worth the effort.

Am I the only one that gets responses like these? What are some of the dumbest things an affiliate manager has said to you?
