Hello
Prdfive shiny beads, it doesn't matter, it's a negligible cost for what we get.
What can you tell me about the shiny beads? I'm interested already ...
Many thanks
PRD for that honest view.
Yes, you are a
Mod, but all of us
act and
think independently.
Our job is unpaid and largely thankless.
We are not told what to say or think.
The man they call
Bruce understands this.
His desire, like ours, is to keep the forum running, long term.
Yeah, but we are not in the USA. It should be stipulated first, as it doesn't feel right to only find out after the fact.
Mowerfreak, I do understand your point.
ODK is an Australian website reflecting mostly the AUS scene.
But we have a broader agenda.
It is our intention to do this. We help all members and have an international
element that reflects the machines sold here over the years.
For example, the History Forum is trying to explain the NZ experience!
Also, for example,
AVB - from Tennessee, has helped countless AUS members!
The fact that we do not stipulate where the hosting occurs seems irrelevant -
because it could change, and we are not in control of final hosting anymore
than we are in control of AUS made goods using imported products.
Bruce is after the best host that delivers the best price and offers the best
reliability to achieve that aim - it's about value to members and appeasing those
who complain about ODK asking for paid membership.
Some days, I feel we can't win with some folk.
There was no intention to deceive (you are not suggesting this).
I am asking for your understanding of the issues.
I feel Bruce will reimburse any member if they feel deceived.about hosting location.
If Aussies can supply a cheaper (local) hosting service and offer the same reliability,
let's go with them. That's my view.
