I guess it might be - I never thought about it - nobody has ever complained about it. We do not exactly look for problems where none exist and nobody complains. As you state, you ae not making an accusation or complaint whatsover either. The proper way to complain is to contact the CCC modetaotrs via an email - not to post acomplaint about someone else's post. We may not read it. We do not lurk here 24 hours a day looking for posts to delete and I certainly do not read every post. There is also difference between the two posts. Posts from programmers about new release of their program can be construed as an informative if done properly and not repetitvely. Posts from a vendor acting as if he someeone else , repeated over a period of time with essentialy the same message and who ignores requests to stop is totally different. I am sure if we asked Frank to stop , he would never make another post here again, period - is that what you want?
