The youngest, Hannah, is just over a year old. She’s inquisitive, active and cute as a [...]

There’s an interesting controversy happening in the world of internet marketing regarding continuity programs.
I got wind of it via Michel Fortin’s blog. Lynn Terry goes into more detail. Apparently, there’s a product that was recently launched that didn’t make it clear that your credit card would be rebilled every month.
Quite a number of people who [...]
