See Ya Later Guys - I''m Outta Here

[Bullet Remington]

Well slap me with an ugly stick until I start lookin good!! Naw that won''t work, nobody''s got that amount of time to spare.

I go outa town for a month and things go to H@ll in a hand basket.

Neville, hate to see ya go. I, as well as a heck of a bunch of people have gotten alot of laughs and even more info from ya than you''d imagine. (as well the fantastic calendars were nice!)

I have no requirement to take sides and whatever one choses to do so be it.

Your choice to leave is yours. I would prefer it NOT be this way. Having stated that, I wish you well and shall stay in touch. I encourage you to do so as well.

Whatever your final decision, I wish all parties success.

Geez Ned,
Does this mean I have to follow you to another website? Got any more calandars for me to give away?

Ned come back.

Valid points on both sides of what doesn''t need to be an issue.

As one additional point: Be it primarily intended for leisure or not, the visiting of any site on the web increases the readership count ("hits") that site can boast of attracting. This in turn boosts advertising rates for that site. Our time as readers is always worth something so we are far from freeloading.

I look fwd to both side coming together to benefit each other and the rest of us too.

Everything''s perspective, isn''t it?

While I fully understand the protective necessities any business perceives, I wonder in this case if the benefits to be derived from allowing the ''offending'' party to carry on aren''t more than the potential perceived losses, i.e. ''transgression'' aside, aren''t the greater readership likely to attend the contributions made by the ''offender'' and their push on advertising revenue of more benefit than any perceived loss due to his ''advertising'' here?

Then, again, since you guys all have sites, wouldn''t some sort of collaboration affording mutual presence on all sites serve EVERYONE best?

I will state again, I contacted Neville after he emailed me and told him it was fine to carry on with his username. As I told him, the username isssue was open. So I do not really see what the problem is.

This is whole issue is based on posting links within the forums. It is up to us to decide what is advertising and we felt the constant posting of links and references to his sites was enough. I thank Mike for his support however the issue is even simpler then what he stated. We do not allow links in the forums, especially in the manner that Neville posts them. This is a form of advertising and we have avenues for that already.

If everything is perspective, then I am not sure what the problem is. Neville agreed with me when he emailed about the removal of the link from his post and I agreed with him leaving his username as is. So just what is the issue?

............(awkward silence)
Give us clarity M.S.S. We''ve lost track of what we were arguing about.

Given that Neville''s posting, although affording a link for members here to get a look at a wealth of good photos, effectively advertised their availability for purchase, I guess I see your point. Sad, nevertheless, that you publishers, as members of the same community, can''t work out a way of collaborating to everyone''s benefit.

Well downwash, I agree with you however I did reply to Neville''s inquiry as I mentioned but still have not heard back from him. That was over 3 days ago now.
