I found this reply in my inbox this morning. I think she just insulted me!
Dear Ms K,
I believe this is your first reply. We know the ethics of product review. In fact, we have sent invites followed by the product itself, to a few selected bloggers, whom we thought are intelligent enough to try our product-for free and do a review about it.
Unfortunately, it was a mistake sending you an invite.
Our deepest apology for taking too much of your precious time.
Wishes,
Ms Williams

Man! That really 'ticks' (not my original discribing term) me off! I wonder where we can complain about that! Im sorry, Dede. Maybe a good fight will help with attitude!? Reen
Wow Dee, I read your posts fast yesterday having just returned from the beach so I missed this one and the one before about what prompted it. That infuriates me. Obviously they don't have a clue about what your blog is about. To be honest, I hate the commercialization of blogs. I totally understand that some people need the money and write product reviews and if I am visiting as part of a photo activity, I will plow past paid posts to get to the photograph or why ever I'm there but it's definitely harder for me. I consider the donate buttons on cancer bloggers pages to be a totally different issue and I wish I was in a position to contribute. But the idea of your getting an email like that makes me want to scream. I've decided that I won't ever have anything commercial on my blog period so if I get an email like you did asking me to review a product, I will let you know what I say. This totally burns me up. I hope everything is going ok for you.
Yeah, Carver, I'm totally with you on the commercialization of blogs. It's ridiculous - I understand it if someone needs the money and pitches a product or like the donate button on cancer blogs. But I'm with you - my blog is about my life with cancer. It's about getting support and keeping people updated on what's going on.
