"Might be that opinionated peeps get the Y... " I think its just a system check to see if you have the Y, like Russell said elsewhere. (I hope that's the case, and I would like to see an answer) I don't see the point in flagging someone like me. I'm not a merchant, nor am I a site owner. The idea that someone would be watching my moves and distrusts me enough to flag me as a competitor, even though I do not post a negative opinion against R'osity very often and definitely do not compete against them, that is disconcerting. It mirrors a behaviour from a different site owner that I experienced once before... paranoia over the store. I really hate the commercial aspects of this business sometimes... too many of these dustups are about a few nickles and dimes. Bleeds the fun out of this whole hobby... Certainly I have occasionally voiced a negative opinion here, but its always been issues that I have strong feelings about, and would post the same opinion elsewhere in the same situation... at any other website about any other website. A negative opinion from me should not be taken personally. It is what it is at face value, there is nothing nefarious in what I say or do. However I am none too sure about the merchant thing... I may become a vendor in the future. I just want to be treated equally and with respect. Personally I don't get the whole brouhaha over the 50/50 split deal... most of the other brokerages have that split, and R'osity is only coming into line, I think. I'd rather they stay profitable and ride out the bad economy at the moment, than have a too high split bleeding them dry in the long term.
