I really hate to be the stick in the mud, but somewhere there is a grey line and I wonder if this thread is crossing it.
I think iStock's 20% is already pretty stingy and giving some non-exclusives only 15% and the majority 16%-18% just as bad. And I also think it is great to discuss ways to show our support for the sites who do give us a good commission, such as sending buyers to the sites we support and who give a lot back to the photographer.
But I wonder if a thread like this, where it's only purpose is name calling; even if it is 'management' as a blanket statement, has crossed the line into the unnecessary or inappropriate.... or is it just me.
