I miscounted. Today is the last day of our little telethon. The staff of newsfromme (which consists wholly of me) thanks all of you who've donated to the cause, which is to prevent me from being tempted by all these e-mails I get from folks who want to advertise on this site and/or send me "paid content" posts to run.
At least one said they'd pay me well for displaying a post they wrote but I had to agree to not let on that it was sponsored and that I didn't write it and I would have to allow the impression that I diligently used their product and recommended it highly…but they wouldn't tell me what the product was. Oh — and I would have to commit and sign a contract before they'd tell me what the product was. I said no, of course. With my luck, it would have turned out to be some brand of cole slaw…
