Deleting PTR Accounts

I deleted myself from a PTR today, and may soon be deleting myself from others. The program was called TheMailClub, and while it's never been a program I recommended highly, it was OK. It was a no-minimum PTR, which means you could request payment every month, even if you only had 1 cent in your account. The thing about it was, I often didn't have much more than that. Not a big earner. Probably less than 20 cents a month. But it wasn't a hassle, so I never quit, and every 6 months or so I'd request payment and get my 60 or 70 cents.

But then came an annoucement that the program had been sold. To a guy named Peter Boer, who's a known scammer. He owns a number of programs, including one called Misty & Sams's Cash, a pathetic joke of a PTR that owes me, and many thousands of other members, money that we were supposed to be paid nearly a year ago.

Now, the first question that popped into my head was -- where did this chump get the money to buy another PTR when he doesn't have the money to pay me the money I requested in December 2004? The nextd thing that popped into my head was....well, I won't say. I think it could get me arrested.

But rather than get myself all bent out of shape about it, I just logged into my account at TheMailClub and hit the 'Delete Account' button. I only had around 13 cents in my account, and it just wasn't worth the hassle.

I also realised today that after deleting a few PTRs, being deleted from a few (mainly for inactivity -- they didn't send me any emails, so I wasn't active), a few that just disappeared, etc. it's only taking about 30 - 40 minutes to read my morning email ads. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to just slowly get out of PTR, or whether I should look for some new programs to join.

Decisions, decisions, decisions....
