I was prompted to propose closing the thread after receiving the following (anonymous here) PM:
"The issue for Mike is that he has been threatened by legal action before by an aggrieved Vendor who didnt like what was being sent
Since its costs $1000's just to reply legally he didnt want this to reoccur
...
From a membership point of view it ought to be allowed, from an IIS legal and finacncial perspective - its just a recipe for disaster
Not to mention the angst and time loss it causes for Mike.
Whilst I think it should be allowed, I also accept that its not a viable option for IIS
I am pretty sure I have made my point on this in the past by PM - where i have said that to prevent any negative sentiment and only allow positive sentiment means that you are forcing an extremely biased response and that members are being unfairly influenced by the forum".
I agree.
How about every contributor deletes their posts to this thread, we don rose-tinted glasses, sing 'Kumbaya', pretend that all is well in the world & not face reality?!
