No, it isn't. Actually, the word "skimming" as it is used here is merely a white-washer's way of saying "stealing". Skimming, in this business, is stealing, no question about it, whether it's traffic, click-thrus or signups, let's call it what it is... theivery at it's worst. I wish you people would quit making excuses for theives. I see another thread here that's all about how Microsoft is planning to "skim" all of our site's traffic by placing little keyword tags into our html pages, and I see an immediate reaction to that practice. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT???

What do you want for nothing?
I don't know about anyone else, but I want what's stated in the TOS of these sites, exactly and to the letter, and I definitely DON'T want to be "skimmed"

And just to be contraversial, what makes you think there aren't a few paid hosts out there skimming things or embellishing on b/w usage or what-have-you?? I'm sure it happens, wouldn't you like to know if it was happening to you?

You kids make ME laugh. To counsel others that skimming is not stealing is.....naive.
