A very popular website ( which will remain nameless in this thread ) has dicked me around for a few months now about doing banner trades. Now I really wanted this traffic and have been shooting emails back and forth for over 5 months now.

Today I just couldn't stand it any more and fired off an email to them basically stating "How do you expect to compete in this industry when you can't even put a banner up on a site with someone you say you want to do business with?"

Was I being rash? Or was I being stupid in being lead on for 5 months?
