I didn't find this topic as interesting as some of your others because it didn't really give me any solid tips/tools/techniques to make more money. I’m glad this is wrapped up.

I don't think I do that.

If you ask your readers whether they think it is needed (from what I remember you had a poll), then your most active readers are the ones that influence your opinion. I seem to remember John Chow taking a similar stance about it at the same time. With a lot of your audience built up either from Digg traffic, or from John Chow's blog, I don't think the term I used is inappropriate. People write for a particular market segment, or their writing attracts a particular market segment. Most email spammers comply with the law better than the majority of bloggers.

Also I'm not an email spammer so no I didn't take that into consideration although I probably should have. I just didn't think about it to be honest.

These people can decide if you are pitching junk, whether you are doing it to make money or not. They could also decide if you are pitching something valuable. Either way it doesn't matter if you are making money from it. The beauty of blogs, which is why they are so different from spam emails, is that people choose to visit and/or subscribe via rss. And Matt's point is that traffic will disappear if you are not writing about useful products and services, just as it would if you were not making any money in the first place. It is my opinion and has nothing to do with FTC law. But maybe I don't always agree 100% with the law. I think Matt’s point is great, because he is looking at readers as real people.

On a more serious note, I'd just like to point out that both sides have given quite a lot of good arguments. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could.
