Great article, Paul. I know how you feel. I got frustrated when I tried to read the top-rated authors to see how they did it, and realized that they had copied and pasted random articles from who knows where. But the good thing is...this site is user ranked. If people will read others' articles and give honest feedback, the good articles (like yours), that are well-thought-out, will succeed, and the "free-cruise-vacation-nee dlepoint-tips-how-to-scam -digg" ones won't.

Unfortunately, you can make money by scamming. It sucks, but that's life. It just means that honest people have to work that much harder. That's okay, though, it just makes your work better.
