Shawn continued to defend them.

We invited shawn (http://www.uncoverthenet.com/) to tell us how his site was different, if, as he claimed, his site was so wonderful.

At that point, shawn turned adolescent and flounced out.

I would genuinely like to know the difference (if any). We've long suspected that many (not all) of the 'new directories' were simply taking money and then leaving their customers in deep ****.

It is now entirely possible that Google has started to act against such directories. So it might be worth less sneering (shawn) and more serious questions.

And if shawn can't answer, come to IHY - as shawn will tell you, we answer your questions, rather than twist, turn and troll - See For Yourself

Quadrille, Doug posted a list of "musts". The list included at least one web directory that gets almost no traffic. How is that a must?

And it also included other newer web directories, such as WowDirectory. But that's odd because just a bit ago Doug had his panties in a wad and was accusing WowDirectory of being a spammer.

Now WowDirectory is a "must", even though it uses the same script it used then, but any other web directory is a spammer unless the owner is a regular poster on IHY.

That, my friends, is a joke. Doug's PM to Shawn pretty much said the same thing that Doug said to Bruce - that he's a spammer because he's a member of my forum.


Doug, grow up. I don't spam. Bruce doesn't spam. Shawn doesn't spam.
