again, why can't they put a section in the back of their deal to ask people to submit questions for this sort of thing, like real magazines/newspapers do? that way, those that are reading the newsletter that have actual questions about it, will submit questions. as it stands now, you have a bunch of people in the GD that feel as if the GD is being once again used by cartographers and tournament people and other sub forums to put their wares forth, because the traffic in those forums is nowhere near the volume here. seriously, why isn't this publication in announcements? and why does it have 2 stickies at the top of the GD?
anyway, if you put up something like this, you are going to get hit by people doing exactly what is going on. totally unfair to target brett in this, because there are many others that have posted multiple times taking a hit at the thread. sure he is more profile, but does that make him any more wrong than the others? everyone seems to want to have the visibility that the GD offers, and to have the traffic the GD offers, and to filter that traffic to their forums. so if you want those of us that are in the GD to accept this newsletter and embrace it and go to the sections it is geared at steering us towards, try to understand the GD and it's posters alot more than you do now.
just look at the thread that was put up for ideas, etc about the newsletter. people were shouted down and told to leave the thread!!! wow... that is a great way to come out of the other forums into the GD and convince people to read something heavy on maps!!! anyway, this whole episode is ridiculous and organizers should have put a deal about submitting questions for this and other ideas in the newsletter, not as a separate thread in the GD....-0
p.s.-yeah, the only spam allowed is POSITIVE spam

actually, doubt any other member received a warning for activities in this thread...
