Approaching webmasters for link exchanges is mundane and time-consuming enough, don't ya think? For every one that agrees, 10 ignore the request. I'm not really complaining about that - I understand it. What I HATE is when they respond by saying something like: "Oh hey, sure, I'll post your return link in the next day or two." Uh huh, yeah, that'll happen. In almost every instance, after I've checked a few days later (or even 2 weeks later, which is my limit on leaving up links for exchanges), they haven't posted the return link. It's a scam to make less-than-diligent webmasters move on and forget to check. DON'T FRIGGIN' PUT UP A PAGE ON YOUR SITE THAT INVITES EXCHANGES AND THEN PULL THIS NONSENSE!
OK, ranting over. Carry on, troopers.
