I think the reality is you don't like to be told off. Oh, you do like insulting others but you can't handle the tables being turned. If I remember correctly, it was you who coined that phrase of there being 2 types of spam. So its only your 2 types that count? If this Alan was so clueless and had no chance in YOUR industry why is he worrying you so much? I welcome my competitors "spamming" me as it gives me a headsup as to what they are offering and helps me know whats going on in my industry. I'd say thanks to him. I actually think I may try him out. Oh by the way, whats that other guys name who also has more than 1 industry he dabbles in ... Would it be Sir Richard Branson? I wish Alan good luck in his new industry of web designing. Actually I wish him luck in every business he may be in. I hope that if he ever enters my industry, I will give him a warmer welcome!
