I haven't been banned by him, but I don't contribute suggestions there because I've read messages here, from trusted, valuable members of the group, about how the articles they wrote dissapeared when Scott suddenly had a problem with them. So, I'm not seeing the sponsor's ads because of Scott's behavior, which is effectively the same thing from their perspective. To be clear: I won't go through the effort of writing a howto: article, only to risk it going away at the whim of anyone - as has happened to contributors here. > I am going to send a letter to all of Saabnet's sponsors, letting them know > how Scott treats their customers.

Well now, here your tone crosses from "hey, this is a problem" to sounding a bit over the top - if this is the tone in the message to the sponsors, they're likely to write you off as someone with a personal grudge, rather than someone giving them useful business intelligence. Gotta watch that, or the effectiveness of the letter drops to the bottom of the trash can. > Hopefully, Scott will see reason and change his behavior. Otherwise, with or > without your help, I will stop buying anything from Saabnet sponsors. I hope > to get many of you to join me. This will help make the point. I wouldn't know who those sponsors are, and before you get all excited about boycots, do yourself a favor and learn how effective they aren't. Don't get me wrong - I'm certainly not defending the guy, but don't make it come across as a rant, is what I'm saying.
