Sounds like one of my recent pubcon conversations... someone should have bought that guy a few more beers around the middle of the story... then we’d learn which ones are still working ;-)More seriously, many people went from that sort of thing to MFA pages and then to arbitrage where they killed it for almost two years.

Thanks for the compliment.
