Hey Nick, Dan, & Sqwertz. It's Warren (and it's been a while since
I've had time to get on Usenet, so it's good to see you) and you guys
are all right, in a sense. I need to clear the air since I'm in
complete agreement that this is sleazy/spammy crap.

I run sushifaq and I know the guys who run sushinut. I hire a kid to
do linking and other minor SEO stuff for me, but I wasn't aware (until
today) that he's been doing this kind of crap. He got scared (for
obvious reasons) and told me about this thread, I normally don't
participate in this group, so he told me what's going on. And
apparently he's been doing it for a while.

I guarantee that this won't happen again, spammy crap like this drives
me nuts as well, so I understand, and I don't want sushifaq associated
with it, it will only hurt me in the end. The sushinut stuff is just
helping out a friend. I used to do a tiny bit of affiliate sales, but
I've stopped and since I know the guy who started sushinut, I point to
his website to help him out, it's not affiliate stuff, I guarantee you
that, so it's not for personal gain. I've spoken to "Viktor" (which is
obviously not his real name) and he won't be posting BS like this
anymore or he's not getting his retainer and will be gone. I guess I
need to monitor a bit better, so i'm sorry for the kerfuffle.

In a nutshell, I'm sorry this happened, it won't happen again (well,
at least not for anything that *I'm* involved in, though I'm sure all
those other folks will keep spamming Usenet) and you guys were right
to question this post, I tend to fight back against this stuff too,
for fun if not for principle, so Sqwertz, I don't begrudge you at all
for calling him out on this crap, I'm actually glad you did so I can
now ensure that bastard won't be hurting my sites with spammy behavior
anymore.

Cheers.
Warren
