I subscribe to very few online newsletters as mostly they tend to be thinly disguised sales letters. However, there is one, written by a successful Internet Marketer that I look forward to for his commonsense on writing and promoting websites.
In his last newsletter, he reprinted part of an e-mail sent to him by a subscriber and blanked out the domain name referred to and the name of the person who sent him the e-mail by replacing these details with a number of X's.
This to me indicated that the real details were masked. However, it seems that some people failed to grasp this concept and he had to issue an apology:
"In one of my articles, I used Xs to hide the real domain name. Well, it seems that in one case, the XXX domain actually pointed to a real site, and as you can imagine, the content wasn't for a family audience. If you did go to those URLs, I'm sorry. It was an honest mistake."
If you are a sensible person, don't take everything literally, are capable of independent thought and don't need your hand holding all the time, perhaps you too could benefit - see http://ezseonews.com/.
