ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

Extremely fair and valid point, one difference in the cases however -
If Meat is signposted to comments these are made in a public forum and that's all anyone is doing singposting him to where that information is freely available.

If there is a dedicated email group set up for a specific membership or purpose with an agreed policy then that is totally different. I am subscribed to the ROL and I will not claim to read every mail that drops in my Inbox - iget over 200 a day from various sources and have other things to do. However when the list was reorganised last year I accepted an agreement.
Lets not forget that this didn't start of has a bad thing - this started off with a piece of information shared amongst people who would be interested.
Any subsequent conversation has been the effect of the actions taken.

I still do not see the need for the remark to have been posted in the first place. I'm sorry I found it totally unnecessary and could and should have been dealt with in private by email or PM.

Sue and I have had a few discussions about speaking as we feel on each individual case on it's merits and I'm sure even if she doesn't agree with me she will accept where I'm coming from.

The knock on effect of that single addition to the original post has been imho to resurface referrences to other sites which has caused issues in the past and we have all ben trying to move away from. It has also spoilt what could have been a very interesting discussion about the content of the chat itself.

For example the ebay sales.......now I'd like to discuss the pro's and con's of that into the ground. but I really don't now feel like this thread is the place to go with it
