After I put up my post about Dr. Geoff of Wellsphere e-mailing to ask if the site could use the entire contents of my blog, FOR FREE, comments and e-mails flowed in from other bloggers who had been approached by the good doctor with the same request.
Here's yet another:
Dear Jeanne: ... I found you after I too got the letter from Wellsphere wanting access to my Web site. I was almost tempted till I read your story.
Thanks so much and by the way your site is absolutely wonderful.I will certainly pass it along. Best wishes, Barbara
Other comments posted to my blog include a warning from a former employee that Wellsphere might rip off our blogs. "I would monitor it to make sure they don't take any of your content," he writes.
Has anyone ever read this Web site? I have to admit that I haven't (yet).

Thanks for posting this.
I got one of the cookie cutter invitations but he obviously forgot to cut and paste properly. My blog is "Musings on Transfusion Medicine" and the invitation was to be a featured blogger in the "Complementary & Alternative Medicine Community". 'Nuff said....

Well, I'm glad I googled the good doctor. I just got pretty much the same email. I think I'll just be ignoring it.
