Wow, I hate it when SI gurus lose it.. The fact that you acknowledge that bob and dave might want to give graystone grief pretty much says that you knew he was being an ass. And you suggest that they should be paying him. Pay attention to the context. Context is everything. I was responding to what was said to me. Yes, I suspected that Bob and Dave might not have appriciated what greystone was doing. Is it still your contention that graystone's motives in posting to me were purely to get people to upgrade? I never said that. Find where I said that without making it up. Did you figure this out on your own? or did you have a private conversation where he told you that this was all about encouraging grandfathered members to upgrade? I don't think I've ever had a PM from graystone. Are you aware that I was the one that not only recommended, but was the first to voluntarily donate to ihub? Do you want proof? Are you aware that Ihub and SI have a special business relationship? I'm not sure what you are getting at. I didn't soil you, you soiled yourself. With that information, do you think that graystone's choice to attack me in a bizarre attempt to pressure people to upgrade, is a bit misguided? Yes it is misguided. You mischaractorize everything I've said. Do you think that an obscure reference to "15 parts" offsets him lying about me and others? No, but it shows that you attacked me without understanding the context. Are you suggesting that Bob and Dave think that any* of this is beneficial to the site, even if they get one or two upgrades out of it?* If the site has fewer liars and cheats then I think that is better for the site. I'm not sure if you are a liar and a cheat but you are really pushing me to the edge of that decision.
