    are you really that dumb?
    But he did help them. for. free. How on earth is that not true?

    Am I dumb to say that? If you think so, then in your mind I must be dumb. Yet it's the whole and absolute truth.

    I have to say, the poster quoted above me not included, most of those people having a real go at ML (and many of those being really rude) have a tiny (or non existent) post count. Which brings into existance a very interesting conspiracy theory. Those that were out to get him, bided their time and now it is here.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I can understand the disgust! £87 million worth of disgust!


    Why are you disgusted that he has earnt 87mil? Im not disgusted at the lucky guy/girl who wins the euro millions 92mil tonite. The only thing im disgusted at is the amount of trolls that have come out of the wood work!

    If those revenue streams continue, perhaps.

    The figures do raise an interesting point however. Doesn't 59% of revenue coming from one single company's affiliate programme seem awfully high for an 'independent' site?



    I'm surprised no-one has picked up on this point before. It does seem an extraordinary figure when you see the competition out there. :eek: Any ideas why it is so high?

    THAT'S jealousy and is typical of the British way of thinking. You are now going on my ignore list so I don't have to listen to your garbage.

    If you don't like it leave.

    I think some people need to get a grip, this is Martin's site ergo he can do what the hell he likes with it. Good luck to him, if this site goes down the pan I'm sure another one will spring up and make someone else very rich. Stop being so sanctimonious, bet you would take the money if it was offered.
    I mean how much does ML really contribute to this site.

    Quite a bit actually methinks, he was nice enough to point me in the right direction via pm regarding the lloyds ppi fiasco last year which resulted in two interviews with lloyds themselves.

    Surely the point of comparison sites is that you COMPARE prices and YOU choose the cheapest product that suites YOU best? I have only ever seen people post on here how much they have SAVED, im sure if people had LOST money as you claim, it would soon have been posted on the forums to warn others?
