Where's My No Soliciting Sign?

Got an email asking if I wanted to do an "unbiased review" for payment.

Short Answer: Hell No. (Question is down below)

Long Answer: I don't think so, "F B" who doesn't have the courtesy of using his/her own name, less actually use my own (available on my blog).

Just because we live in the information age doesn't give you permission to be completely oblivious in solicitations. As a quick perusal of my blog will illustrate, I have no advertisements, no explicit product reviews or endorsements. I may like something and pass it along, but I do so without compensation for good reason.

This is where someone should read this book and this blog (for starters).

*Note to readers: don't actually click/copy the links. I do not know where they will lead you. Possibly to your nearest IT guy or Staples for Norton AV.

So here's the email:
