BH and I have been discussing this off-board because I did not really think it was affiliate code of some sort... Still, circumstantial evidence did seem to add up based on a couple of items I asked about (nature of chain email topic, etc)... Now I'm really beginning to be suspicious. I knew of at least one network that uses "CID" as an affiliate ID marker. Then, by coincidence, I just ran across another cid in the referral url while posting in the Dogpile/PFP thread [webmasterworld.com]

Hmmmmmm.... affiliate code buried in a chain email, now that would be diabolical.
