You are 100% right with your response to Adam. Does he not realise that people should be monetising their sites. People have to pay for hosting. It doesnt just suddenly appear to be free.

As for using a shortening service it doesnt bother me massively. If people find it easier to use and it saves them time then thats fair enough.
