The issue wasn't the value (tho it was shit). The issue is his motives/business practices/etc.
Just because there are 1000s of sponsor directories exist doesn't mean that they are all not worth having an ad on. I agree with you tho that in this case, we got exactly what we paid for. There are certainly some other ones we have considered having ads on in the past and are still considering. The issue in this case wasn't so much the site type as who the owner is.
I'm sure you'd say your sponsor catalog is worth advertising on even tho it's just one of 1000's.
Also, the cost included a banner spot, it wasn't only for inclusion.
Had he been an honest person and had the traffic & activity he always claims to have it certainly wouldn't have been "above of dumbness".
