"Craig's Saab C900 Site" <c900nospam.apana.org.au> wrote in message > I admit I've only on a few occasions visited the saabnet site and maybe once on your site (i honestly couldn't give you an opinion of the quality of their content). I, for one, and I think most others here, prefer this newsgroup type of community forum (as opposed to web forums). This newsgroup is tough to beat for raw/totally uncensored peer-to-peer content with, for the most part, a guaranteed low rate of spam & advertisements. Post on any Saab topic you want and you'll pretty much always get a bevy of quality/intelligent responses. No offense intended, imho, but you come off sounding a bit jealous of saabnet's alleged commercial success (and/or its success in garnering significant web traffic). Yes, Saabnet (and I presume Scott, its owner), has a certain commercially driven agenda. Given that, it's not very surprising they want to "protect" their interests. "Protection" might include blocking blatant adverts for other competing sites. Such adverts would be akin to hanging a BMW banner on the front door of Saab's headquarters....why would Saab put up with that? They'd probably have the person who hung the banner, arrested....and rightfully so. - tex
