Join the Army and Kill the Terror...s

In this our day, politicians of voice the world over are saying, "yes, we are joining the war against terror. We must get them wherever they are before they get us. We support the war on terror. So much resource power is being pooled to fight the terrorist and to make sure they do not come into our 'safe' territories". Surprisingly, we know where the big bad guys are but we can't get to them! They are grouping and re-grouping in ever large numbers and carrying out "missions" here and there and what do you know? ..these big bad guys are using weapon power from the 'safe' countries. How is it getting to them, when they are supposed to be isolated? Hey, I think we need to change strategy. We need to have focus ... with a special kind of bad guy focussed army....

Hello! Did I scare you with that little intro? Sorry, I did not mean to. That is how I view the cyberworld's 'siege situation' right now. I feel angry my dear friends and I want to take it off my chest and mayhap I will feel better. I am fed up. We cannot go on like this. Everywhere I look, or turn, or surf there is just spam, virus, trojan, worm, spyware lurking...! But I don't want to scream, "Hey stop the internet train, I wanna get off!" No, no, no I will hang in there and challenge all of us who make up cyberworld to get angry and fight the cyberworld terrorist. Let us join resources and kill spam and all his relatives. I have been scammed, spammed, virused, trojanned, spywared upon ...! I have lost data. I have lost hard disks. I have lost time. I have lost money in trying to reset my computer life. In summary, I have been inconvenienced. I cannot get online without a part of me having to be on the alert. This is wasteful. I need all my faculties to be at full blast to do that which I intend to accomplish the time I hook up. So it is only right I get angry Yes? So, can someone please set up an internet army? I want to enlist to fight the bad guys! Who will join me. You? Good. That makes the two of us. You also, you say whaat? Yes, yes everyone is welcome to enlist. Thank you for your enthusiasm for the internet army.

Listen to this. On a number of occassions I have signed up for one thing or other on what appeared to be a respectable site, especially ones that even had 'billboards' clearly announcing, "We hate spam just as much as you do and, we can never never sell your address details to anyone. Never! Not us." Two days downline I begin to see offers landing in my inbox from places I had never been. Did you see my opening story above. How are the terrorists getting the weaponry unless someone from the good world is aiding them? Same thing online. Worse still when it comes to cyberworld, spam and virus and all these related enemies are a source of money making opportunities for some. Another time I signed up for what I genuinely thought was a good newsletter which is managed through a respected listserver. I got the first one, two, three email newsletters one every other day. No problem. Then all hell broke loose! From this same one subscription, (not even from elsewhere) I started getting five, then seven then ten e-mails in ONE DAY!!!!!! All unrelated to my original subscription. I was angry. My 'privacy' was raided. I tried to send an e-mail to vent my anger, but most of you by now know that these things are just one way traffic. A good genuine subscription turned into SPAM! I continued to be spammed with this kind of 'official spam'! I tried contacting the Listserver but alas.. yes you guessed it... nothing doing. Anyway to cut a long story short I found a way of killing that terrorist at the root. And I breathed some cool air once again. Lesson for you? Don't take everything at face value. Checkout some of these places before you subscribe or indeed before you download anything, especially when you don't feel "too comfortable". Most of us in the affiliate business have a tendency to want more and more reports, info, software etc to convert more and make more and more money. But hey, be carefull out there. Don't become a bad guy for want of more sales.

======Time out========================
Talking about affiliate marketing if you are looking at joining another affiliate program, here is something worthwhile. Go check out the affiliate program on this site. It is my considered view that this is one of the best programs on the net, yet.

On the other hand, if you are about to set up a website, STOP! check this out. Everything under one roof, hosting, design software (you don't have to know html coding), search engine optimisation, just the whole works. Go see.
==========End time out=================

Today everyone in cyberworld is building fences. Subscribing to some good stuff these days is now a long process of sub and confirm. If you are downloading anything you just be careful that you are not also importing any of the internet terrorist! If you are surfing make sure your browser is not as naked as your birthday suit. You must be fully amoured. All fenced up. Wheeewww! What a life! Result? Cyberworld is living in fear. Fear from being exterminated by a common enemy. The internet terrorists. Who are these bad guys? We know them but we are not fighting them. We are accomodating them because someone somewhere sees this as a money making opportunity. We know these guys are online, spam, virus, trojan, worm spyware etc. But..!
Back in the days of the 'Wild West' some bad guys would ride into town and hold it up for a while, then from some 'corner' a good guy will appear all by himself and take on the bad guys and kick them out of town whilst all the time the town's people would be peeping through the openings of their firmly shuttered windows. (Which one are you ..?) When life returns to normal, everyone thanks the good guy and it is business as usual. That is exactly what is happening in cyberworld. Some good guy finds a way of preventing spam or virus going his way, he gets thanked through sales of an anti-something. What happens to the common enemy? He is still there somewhere lurking and causing havoc. He has simply relocated from one part of the territory to another, could even be behind some little hill or big mountanous place. It becomes a 'no go' area.
I say we raise a common army to fight the common enemy we know, right?
What's your take on this matter?

To your peace and prosperity
