    Anybody else received this email? I thought it is funny, though not enough to give him a free spot.

    Apparently not. He is even bragging about having contact@hisdomain because I replied with a gmail account :D
    He said he doesn't do business (ask for freebies) with someone with a free email account.

    Tarek, you should tell him to start his own free directory if he needs free links

    ROFL thats really too funny :) they are the largest FTP hosting, online storage and backup services providers but they cant afford a few dollars, the price of a listing in a good directory, i dont know about other directories owners but i really hate this attitude, starting every sentence with "we"... playing the big boys.., if someone comes to me honestly and ask for a free listing because he is just starting in the internet business and cant afford it yet, i will be more than happy to give him a freebie, but people who send emails like this one just make me sick.

    Probably someone with a twisted sense of humour. Not to be taken seriously :D

    Its almost as funny as the email i receive each winter from a poor russian girl, her mother is sick and they cant afford medicine, but she has internet access from her job at the local library. :)

    She stays the same age too, but her name changes, and her 6 yr old son became 6 in 12 months. :)
