Wasn't that proposal entertaining? Looks like it fell through a time
warp from 1999 - suure I'm going to plunk down $12,000 for a listing
on your website. I wonder what a listing on _my_ website is worth?
Should be much more, because it already exists. And it even gets hits
some days.

I had to wonder if the whole thing wasn't some kind of sendup -
thevapourpoint.com? Obviously this fellow has never heard of
vaporware. Looks to me like another self-appointed marketing
consultant, out of work since the boom went bust.
