Looking for images for my fishing log, thanks.

Hello again,

You're just looking for suckers to go to the site!

I would never call anybody visiting our site a sucker.

If you really wanted photos, you'd mention it on the site, not here. I
didn't see any pleas for photos on the site home page.

We do need photos to go to our default database and we give credits to
all who donate (have a look at the links). As you certainly
understand, there is a limit in what you can and can't put on a site.
The fact that we do not ask for images on our site does not mean we do
not need them. Where else could I go and ask for images?

Ok, I absolutely understand the reasons for such replies to my
e-mails. I am too tired of unsolicited emails I receive every day. I
can only hope that some of you will contact me and send me some
images.

You want to prove I am a spammer - send me something worthwhile and
see if it appears on our site or on a splash screen or in the sample
database. Oh, and check if we mention your name in the acknowledgement
section.

Kind regards,

Jen

Hello,
I participated in the development of this fishing log and image
repository for fishermen:

http://fishing.idealog.net

If you have interesting images of your past catches, fishing trips,
repairs, inventory, bait, tackle, fishing buddies or any other images

Seriously, SPAM or not, the post does not appear present the facts. The
site seems to have only one purpose and that is to sell a software
application.

Not that my opinion is important but I have no problem with commercial
posts as long as the poster is up front about it. If you have something
of interest people will choose to check it out.

I saw no links to 'donate' pictures but since this is for-profit
software built partially on open source contributions I would be glad to
sell some images at a fair price.

I don't know if you're a spammer or not (or particularly care), but the
FAQ at your site disturbs me.

From the FAQ:
********
Contacting Fishing Log PRO Team
Q: I would like to send an e-mail to the authors. Why can't I see any e-
mail addresses anywhere in your contact details.

A: We decided not to publish our addresses any longer because of hundreds
unsolicited e-mails we used to receive every day. Please use the feedback
page link to contact us directly.

Q: Could I call you or ask you to contact me by phone regarding Fishing
Log PRO?

A: We do not have a hotline support center. It helps us to cut costs and
keep our registration fees very low. If you have any questions - you can
always ask us by submitting your query via the feedback page. Make sure
you have read this FAQ and be specific when asking questions.

Personally, I won't do ANY e-business with anyone I couldn't contact by
phone if I needed to, EVER. I don't even know what country you guys are
in.

While most likely you're legit, sending a credit card number to the
nameless and faceless is a really stupid thing to do. Its a high risk
way to make a purchase. Even if I were in the market for a fishing log,
you wouldn't get my business.

I'm not attacking here, but I do have a different point of view....
While I agree that it is slightly more difficult to do business by
email, I have an online business and while 99.9% of our customers are fine
people we're happy to have for customers, I don't want to hand that other
..1% my home phone number (actually, my second phoneline). My point being,
not every business on the internet is run in a dedicated office environment.
We run our business from our homes, and our website is our office. We still
give our customers our best service possible, everyday. Actually, several
times a day!
As for credit cards, you're only slightly more at risk over the internet
then by handing it to the guy or gal at the restaurant who disappears with
it to charge your bill, or the folks at the hotel counter who take an
impression of your card for their records, or the folks who take your order
over the phone for catalogs, etc, etc, etc. God only knows how many people
have access to your card that you don't know at all, and have never met...

P.S. The site representitive is from Dublin, Ireland. This, and his
address and phone number, can be found through publicly accessible
information online. So, our customers could find our phone number if they
needed to.

I'm sure you do provide excellent customer service, but putting in a
dedicated phone line with an answering machine is a relatively small
expense that might attract customers. At least, your website provides an
address. The site in question here doesn't extend that courtesy. I
think we can both agree that when you give your credit card to someone,
you should at least know what business you're giving it to.

As for credit cards, you're only slightly more at risk over the
internet

with it to charge your bill, or the folks at the hotel counter who

When you deal with reputable online companies with good security
policies, you're probably safer than when you hand you're credit card to
a waiter. When you deal with small guys who don't know from security,
you're asking for trouble. I'm basing this on letters from my web-
hosting company that said they found many sites on their own servers that
were collecting card numbers on encrypted pages, and then mailing them or
storing them on unencrypted pages.


P.S. The site representitive is from Dublin, Ireland. This, and his
address and phone number, can be found through publicly accessible
information online. So, our customers could find our phone number if
they needed to.

With you're site, you're a corporation. People can find your Tax ID
number if they needed it, they can complain to your attorney generals
office or better business beaureau if they saw fit. You're not
anonymous. There remains something inherently wrong with doing business
with an anonymous party.
