Dom, Ive always got on with you and I understand why you want to fix the current situation. However the issue at hand here is one of trust. Over the past few months I have watched as the management of CAP bully their way to the position they find themselves in. This is why I am leaving London today and have no desire to attend their conference. Instead I will be catching up with a few webmaster friends of my mine in my home town over the weekend.
Having had dinner with Michael and J Todd whilst in London I am even more convinced of their integrity and ethics and applaud them for making public the connection between Card Spike, Effective Media and Affiliate Media.
To me the damage has already been too great to survive. Trust is in very short supply in this industry and when you outrightly try to decieve not only your membership but your clients ( certified programs ) it is virtually impossible to recover from.
Hence I can no longer support CAP whilst the current management own and control it.
