Geez Simon,
Stevo Hat on :D....seriously folks its not me :p
Reckon you are drawing some looooong bows there. I see no difference to me saying Im a finance broker, or someone saying Im a plasterer, or mechanic or working for a magazine. Nor do I see competing dollars for a 4WD mag or a subscription here....in fact I doubt that would even cross anyones mind. That logic could apply to spending $$ here or finding out a member has a CD for sale, or is a plasterer and you now spend those $$ there. People pay for things here for a love of the place and an appreciation of the work done, not cause they are flipping a coin over a donation here or buying a magazine.
I think the point has run away a smidge.....my issue and seems the majority that have posted was A) not a great way to welcome someone...no matter where they were from. B) If there is an issue of being smited...deal with that direct. C) Consensus seems to be that there is no issue from the folks that count...the members. Without the members....this is just a website.
Regards
Stevo
