A funny thing happened on the way to our email today…

We were asked to exchange links with a website that would in no way, shape, form, or fashion suggest exchanging links with us if they had in fact looked at our material at all.

Subject: Link Exchange Request from Manchesterclinic.com
To: pyrophage:at:drunken-pumpkin.com

Hello,

I came across your website drunken-pumpkin.com, and would like to propose a link exchange between your site and ManchesterClinic.com. The Manchester Clinic of Plastic Surgery has seen over 70,000 patients and performed nineteen thousand surgeries since opening. Dr. Manchester’s before and after photos have been selected to be featured on The Consumer Guide to Cosmetic Surgery, a website providing comprehensive Cosmetic Procedure information.

Please consider adding our link to your site on your page: http://www.drunken-pumpkin.com/2008/06/in-our-ongoing-efforts-to-provide-useful-resources-here-is-a-printable-copy-of-form-a-001/

Here is our linking information:

Let us know when our link is placed and we will post your link in the proper category of the resources page listed here: http://www.manchesterclinic.com/resources/index.html

Please be sure to include your desired title and description. Your link will be posted within hours, however, in some rare cases it may take longer. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your consideration,

Now, if she had asked to have their link posted on the “Ode To The Colorectal Surgeon” page, I could understand.
