Plus it’s certainly a step in the right direction that they are asking for views from key people like yourself who can offer a balanced view without people remarking your just saying that because of this or that.. certainly a move forward as far to often you get the view point of a media hungry self promoting member of a Network how only concern is to make sure they say the right thing for the brands reading even if it’s not what is for the best.

By the way I am not anti-NMA or anything of the sort, I just found in the past it was always people who could afford adverts or promotions in supplements that had there view pointed heard and are talked up as being great at this or that. To me if you take the view of the people that can pay for adverts and not speak to the ones who don’t or can’t, then it’s not as balanced as it could be. That aside I have no plans to comment in any publications until I can afford the PR machine to back it up and make sure I am represented correctly. Think I will stick to blogs from honest sources such as yourself to comment in as then I can always reply to a follow up if they don’t agree

Do you have a copy if the “in situ” version I could have a gander at?

It’s nice to see an official voice fighting the corner of affiliates. I agree that education of merchants is key, and I guess things like get-togethers could prove vital tools for this means. Hopefully other merchants will recognise the ASOS comments as sadly misguided.

Keep up the good work!
