A more appropriate response,imho,would have been: So What? Free forms & brisnet pps have been available at every contest I've gone to. Everyone who sells goods & services must necessarily take steps to publicize & market those goods & services. People are obviously much more likely to do business with those who want to do business with them & make it easier to do business with them. These are not things which anyone should need to explain or be defensive about. The question this raised in my mind is why the email wasn't sent to all qualifiers.
