To tell you the truth, there IS a moderator - it's Muhammad. He can delete threads, ban people and the like. The fact he hasn't really had to do much moderating here speaks well of the community.

But, these forums are still moderated, make no mistake about it.

I would further ask all members to really be choosey about doing business with anyone with mooch ads on this site. Mooches take your money because of LMF, yet LMF gets nothing for it (they rarely add too much of anything as far as the forum goes).

HOWEVER, there are two members I can think of who have skirted this rather well, one is Kerryall. He was on the razor's edge, but he really wasn't advertising to us. He sold a product that was for contractors, really. He was looking to make a new product (and I helped him). Sprinkler Buddy is also VERY worthy of mention. Although he had a product DEAD NUTS aimed at our kinda people, he really refrained from mentioning it for a long time. He contributed a LOT to this forum before he even referenced it. IMHO, he EARNED his ads - what small mentions they were.

I am not saying boycott a mooch (although I'd like to) - I'm just saying think about it before whipping out the CC.

What does the "CC" stand for ?

And I was hoping for .... Canadian Club... :smile:KennyV

Well, excessive use of that CC could lead to use of the other CC where one might not've really wanted to...:wink:

Canadian Club ain't that expensive over here... Only £20 ($40) for a bottle in most places.

:laughing: When you've experienced a Huskvarna mower, as I have, you will understand... Talk about driving me to the drink! :laughing:

To clear things up, I don't drink Canadian Club! I only drink wine!
