Hi Paul,

I would disagree a little there. I know nothing of the
'anti-competitive' side of things - maybe they are - but hey so are
apple and microsoft and we all use their products - in fact its what
makes macs so stable so not necessarily a bad thing :)

As for the deleted posts - they came from a couple of individuals who
were being complete 'tools' on the forum. I can't beleive their
accounts we not just suspended. At the end of the day the forum is
owned by cinemar and I suppose they are also resposible for its
content. One of them, 'ripper', got the hump because they would not
develop features at his beck and call and then just started slating
everyone and everything - very tiring.

In my experience the guys have been pretty responsive and are moving
in the right general direction. Certainly not perfect but not bad
either and they have a pretty decent user base.
