More weird stuff for Wagglepop and its owner, Ray Romeo (aka Andrew Pittino)... Wagglepop.ocm has a page enouraging any visitor (registered on Wagglepop or not) to spam their friends into visiting the site. Here it is... http://www.wagglepop.com/bin/TellaFriend Nothing wrong with the page itself, other than the blatant free spamming Ray is asking his sellers to go through, rather than spend time actually trying to sell anything on his site. Anyway, if you take a look at the source of the page, you'll see that this text is commented out from view. Text that was originally on the page, and then removed, for what reason, I wonder? It seems like Ray doesn't want to give anybody any false hope that their email address or other personal information would be safe from third parties. Remember, this text was REMOVED from the original page.

Hit the jump to see the entire HTML TD tag that was removed, if you're curious. I wouldn't be surprised if that commented text is removed by the time you read it, so if you see it, take a screen shot like I did. UPDATE: This HTML code is standard text you would see if you bought the auction software Rscript, as Ray did for Wagglepop, and as MyEBid.com did. It certainly doesn't explain why Ray incredulously removed this statement from his TellAFriend page. <!--<td colspan="2" width="713"> <span class="small"> <b>Note:</b> We never sell access to our data to marketers, credit collectors, or others that would send your email we believe you would not want to receive.
