omg thanks for sharing these articles. i am literally sitting here, laughing while i read them. just at the ridiculousness of it all.
does everyone get a friendly letter if they are selling links or is only forbes receiving such a thing? seems like favoritism if that's the case. not cool imo.
i'll go with the super squeaky clean and no-follow mine, and grumble all the way so much bad behavior out there (or people who just don't know about no-follow) that it's really tough to find high pr sites that are willing to write about you AND are following all of the no-follow rules on their content (let alone not selling text links lol)...
