Hi Nick!

Please don't take this wrong! I have no authority whatever to mention this, and nobody's mad at you (that I know of). I'm likely one of only a few that would say anything, but there is a very good reason why you don't see anyone's commercial advertising on or around the Club's website and forums!

We'd all simply like to keep it that way, so we're going to nip this in the bud! We have a good many businesses represented by members, and none of us want the forum to become a clearing house for their product lines.

Now, If someone else not associated with you wanted to post an impartial review of your product and post a link... or someone here had asked you about your product... that would be perfectly fine (and maybe even appreciated)!

Thanks for your understanding. smile

Not a problem Nick, it looks like a nice product. One of the (only) downsides to our little puddle jumpers is that they're not as easy to fuel as a Cherokee grin grin

Hey Nick,

G'day

I like your ladder, as Dan said, it looks pretty good. Please feel free to send me one and I'll be happy to do a product report on it for you and list it here on the forum for everyone to see (in line with Carl's suggestion) smile - lets face it....if it works upside down, it'll work anywhere.... laugh

Cheers

Carl,

Where do you get the authority to make such a post?

I checked the rules for this forum and found nothing to support your self officious post to Nick.

I also checked and learned that you are not the moderator of this forum.

I for one am not at all comfortable with you making up rules for the club and the forum. It is just my opinion but I think that if rules are to be made the owners of the club or their designees should take care of that little chore.

I think that you owe all of the members and especially Nick an apology.

Thank you for understanding.

Sure! No problem!

I sincerely apoligize to Nick, the membership of the club and forum, the owners of the club and forum, and most especially to you, whom I have apparently upset... again!

I didn't feel good about saying anything... almost deleted it (probably should have, in retrospect). But... I'm not the only one on the forum who feels as I do, either! Anyway, I do understand your position!

Just my opinion, and only my opinion...

As a member of the club I like to see other members let us know of products that are available, even if they are products represented by the member themselves. Since this was posted under buyers and sellers I see no problem here. I believe we have had a good history of this in the past, Dipstiks, (mine), marker lights, signs, Royson's deals, window latches, etc., and I hope to see many more. I haven't noticed anyone taking undue advantage of this. Helps me to know what's out there and how to find them.

But I do respect Carl's opinion, as well.

Hey guys, no problem! Carl made a good point. That said, I enjoy the group, the advice & opinions of everyone.

Now, it's Saturday morning, the weather is fantastic, and I take off at 9 am from KBAK headed for Kentucky Lake, an all day sight seeing flight.........with my newly rebuilt radio and freshly majored engine!

Have fun guys!!!

Nick

Well, Carl DOES have more posts than anybody else...... 12,751 (Get a life!) grin

Actually, Poobs has 14,200 but half of those are telling people to "shut up", saying "we be lurking", or apologising to Catherine.
