Have any of you ever had people request you to remove your link to their site because they have too much traffic?

We just got an email from a website that we listed in our gay asian directory, gayrice.com, requesting we take down our link to him as he has too much traffic and doesn't want to pay the hosting bill for increased traffic.

I'm certain then he must take his website, which is posted as a business website, as a hobby and not intending on using the traffic from it to increase his business...

Perhaps he does not see the tie in from targeted niche traffic in the niche he is in, to increased customers, branding, and potential sales?

I just found it rather odd because most of us spend much of our time trying to build traffic.

Strange... but I am sure that more wise voices on the board will share their insights that will help me see the other side of this coin...

Thanks in advance.
