OK, before this gets into a "let's bash the vendors" thread which I do not believe is the reason that Ironbear started this thread. Please, don't label all the vendors with the same tar brush. There's no proof at this time that the person(s) responsible for the collection of emails that Ironbear has are vendors. Just a suspicion. Anyone can make the statements presented in those mails. Even some dippy little troll who thinks it's clever to spam and lie. We don't KNOW that it's vendors, it's an assumption. OK, a fairly safe one but still an assumption. Most of you in this thread know some of the vendors. I certainly wouldn't label many of them with the selfish nature of those in Ironbear's initial post. So please, let's not turn this into a generalised attack against vendors, that would be grossly unfair on those who do honestly offer a good service and value for money and do not attack freestuff or the providers of freestuff. Let's remember that while it is freestuff that attracts people into the site, it is the store that funds the site. It's a symbiotic relationship that I like to think most understand.
