Enough on this please. To my mind it is clear when someone offers a service that there are other alternatives and to say 'of course you could go elsewhere' is pretty redundant. I thought the original 'offending' message was actually helpful, providing a phone number for convenience, but was not a hard sell of any kind. I note that in the past, members of this list have been well treated, with discounts and the like by those who offer commercial services here and that the culture is about right as it is, or certainly hard to improve on. I've seen many lists that are far worse and few that are better.
As such, the admin list-mom position is that the original post was fine and no apology was needed. I suggest this is a precedent for future similar posts. Should someone be more aggressive in their marketing or misleading, then that's different. I also note that the person who started the complaints (who joined very recently) has now left now so essentially it is 'business as usual'. Anyone who strongly disagrees with my position feel free to get in touch with me directly, initially please, for discussion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
