Oh yeah, and I also posted the "clean" link first, so there would be no confusion. I don't want to NOT post in the "specialty" thread, nor do I want to disadvantage the other person by posting deals they also post - how do you suggest the cross-reference be done?

It's a minefield. In order for me to post, I have to go to the trouble to take out my affiliate link and honestly, it's usually not worth the bother for me. I linked to a book review on my blog one time in the romance thread and boy. Won't do that again. I had no idea that since my blog has affiliate links that was a no-no.
I didn't take yours as a promo link either, but it's a very sensitive issue around here (apparently).
