I think some folks might be taking this whole transparency via writing on the Web a little too far. After checking out Eric’s disclosure policy that he wrote up – I thought I would create one myself. I mean, you can never have enough bases covered, right?

Here it is, short and sweet.

I disclose that if somebody is willing to pay me money, I will be willing to take the said money because I am not an overly egotistical Internet celebrity and I do have bills to pay. As for an apology for the “noise” I might be creating, have created, or will created in the “blogosphere” you can and should let the door hit you on the way out.

If that door does hit you on your way out, I am not responsible for any injuries you might undertake while using the proverbial door.

So to translate that for everybody else – I will do what I want to do, say what I want to say and I will not be told by an advertiser or a mob of bloggers how I should act. You will just have to trust the fact that my personal ethics are keen.

Then again, if you have enough time to wonder about the ethics of my writing you need to go outside and see what daylight looks like again.
