Wow. If that's correct, then perhaps Dell should be screening those affiliates instead of honest, law-abiding American customers.
After all, if what you say is true, there is nothing to prevent NAMBLA, Hamas, Alqaida, Islamic Jihad, Hezbolla, or any number of other terrorist or child-molester outfits from generating financing via Dell's affiliate program.
Since Dell's affiliate program terms which someone posted here the other day say that they have the right to deny affiliate status to outfits they deem offensive or inappropriate, I sit here in amazement at the revelation you posted above.
And perhaps you and others should stop bashing the only conservative major computer manufacturer in the country over a mistake that they've admitted and done everything within reason to correct. Or perhaps you'd rather just keep beating your chest to see if you can reduce the number of such companies to zero instead of one. When Dell apologized and offered a free notebook to Weigand and he refused, he became a grandstander. When something like this affiliate business has been explained a dozen times and you still don't get it, there's no hope.
Have a great day, Don.
Over and out.
