All things being equal, we have elected to post our response to the apparent owner of the site and shall share it with you because they have not removed our link to date:

Since you are apparently the responsible party for the CyberSpaceOrbit.Com domain, I figured I should send this note to you.

Actually, I am somewhat amused by the contention at CyberSpaceOrbit.Com (see warrant40.htm ) that The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company is in some way involved in some form of global conspiracy. We are in reality just a small Chuckwagon based start point portal firm... really. [ED Note: It's our story and we're sticking with it]

While I suppose that I should be somehow flattered that The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company is now considered part of a global conspiracy, I would rather that you not attempt to tarnish the company's reputation by casting unfounded aspersions and vague innuendos upon it.

BTW, do the links from your site suggest The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company has actually made the big time with the global conspiracy crowd? Should I be expecting my invitation to the Trilateral Committee, CFR and any other TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms) generally associated with clandestine world control activities real soon now? Did my attending a meeting with Bill Gates and Andy Grove in San Francisco in 2000 trigger this kind of attention? Sure, Intel called it a roll out meeting for the new Intel P4 chip and a forum to discuss better ways to facilitate electronic commerce on the Internet and sure there were some 1,000 other attendees, but you know what really went on there...

You couldn't have pointed to The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Knothole Company Link? After all, that and The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company; The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Knothole Company Link are two of its more developed portal examples. ;-)

Actually, if you go to [ED Note: Originally contained the name of a really long URL that messes up page formatting on a web page], you will hear The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company first radio broadcast commercial for Nameless.Net (it is a large download because the ad is air quality so you can't miss the messages)... But don't send your viewers over to see if they can detect the hidden secret messages, even though we could use the press... or not.

All kidding aside, the reality is that The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company simply guides consumers to relevant resources through its portal network and gets compensated for the effort via performance based affiliate marketing programs to which the company subscribes. Some of these portals do not readily fit that model and are being prepared to be used in fee based listing models (see I'm no good at all with keeping secrets). After all, in the case of The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Hooded Undertaker Company, compensating affiliates for people expiring clearly incents wrong behavior and using such an affiliate model there should generally strike one as a bit ghoulish. In the case of Nameless.Com, it is hoped to have the rest of The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Knothole Company diverse start point portal one day network fund that site so that it can become non-commercial (or at least minimally so) over time, pointing kids to family friendly and informative sites with good age appropriate content for children.

In any case, because we are just a friendly little company, I shall try some friendly words: Please do not disparage the The Nameless Swell and COOL Cowpoke Company name or those of its portals by putting them in places they really do not belong. I would ask that you kindly remove the links implicating us in some diabolical plot or I shall have no choice but to engage the suit and dark glasses to discuss this matter with you further - that would be the lawyer (after all, who else could I possibly mean?)...

[EDITOR: ummm...a duel at the OK CORRAL?]

Now then, isn't this the nicest (and possibly oddest) cease and desist note you've ever received from an Internet (or any other) company? Good. Please pay attention to it.

Best,
