Hi Peet,
I see you have some space for hire... well, I don't have much worth trading for it, but would you consider exhanging it for some space after my nickname? You could be Peet (proudly sponsored by aPerson) and I could be aPerson (with whatever you like here).
I think that's a reasonable offer, don't you?

Sounds intriguing... I'll get back to you when I've given it a little thought

Would you like an iced coffee while you're thinking? I've heard that offering people drinks can help business deals to work out better.

Do you have any Raktagino? (Klingon iced coffee)

aPerson, An Angelastic (and alliterative) Acronymaniac Posted Feb 1, 2000
I don't believe I've tried that one... I'll have to get hold of some so that my friend and I can review it for our iced coffee website. We were planning to sample every iced coffee on Earth before going where no iced coffee drinker has gone before, though.
I do, however, have some virtual raktagino. Here, have some. *clink*

Thank you.
*Slurrrrrp*
So, other than the space factor, are there any limitations on what you're willing to endorse? (I wouldn't be promoting Tobacco products or Microsoft.)

Hmm... well no Intel either. Or Gateway, because I think they use DogCow skins to make their boxes, and DogCows are a protected species. But I don't think there's anything else I wouldn't let you say. We'd have to agree to post to forums about as actively as each other so we each get the same amount of exposure.

Hokay - I'll go for "Proudly sponsored by aPerson", if you go for "Visit U38364 and play Cheddar Gorge!"...? Say a short-term contract, till the end of February?

aPerson, An Angelastic (and alliterative) Acronymaniac Posted Feb 2, 2000
Okay, but just so there's the same number of words in each ad, make mine 'Proudly sponsored by aPerson at U104259'
I'm off to change my nickname now.

Done! It's lucky I caught you, or I would have owed you a day! (It's 2:22am here in Aberdeen, and I'm off to bed )

Well, I don't know what time it is there but for me February has been over for 19 and a quarter hours, and since the deal was for one month, I'm off to change my nickname. It's been nice doing business with you.
