@Tech Admin: I find myself, once again, 100% in support of AJB Temple (and other members) regarding this thread.
Though of course I post completely "on my own recognisance" and would not, for example, recognise in person "AJB T" nor any other member involved if they should walk into my office right now!
I for one am prepared to accept that you (Mr/Mrs/Miss? Tech Admin) were genuinely in the position of misunderstanding the ideas and reasoning behind this area of the thread, and will, giving the benefit of the doubt, put that misunderstanding down to (I think?) Winston Churchill's well-known "two nations divided by a common language"!
However I must once again support "AJB T" - and the other members involved here - if you think someone is QUOTE: .... inflammatory and use[ing] legal speak to belittle [you] ..... UNQUOTE: that IF this should happen to you again you simply post and ask "what's happening folks?" (or words to that effect)!!
You'll find - if you haven't noticed already - that most of us are quite reasonable people most of the time (Yes, I include myself here!) except perhaps if discussing how to sharpen wood working tools!
From previous information given by/about "you", I presume you are the owner of this site, correct?
If so, while I do appreciate that you are in business in a small way, with "just" two staff (?), I think you will agree that it is perfectly normal business practice all over the world - and in many places a legal requirement too - to publish a clear set of terms and conditions covering ALL aspects of usage of your site.
In fact, a few weeks back several members invested some time and effort in "to-ing and fro-ing" to come up with a generally acceptable set of terms and conditions covering many aspects of usage of this site under "your" (new) ownership. As far as I could see at the time, quite a good general consensus in this area was achieved amongst the membership. BUT also as far as I can see, very little - if nothing at all - has been done by you, the site owner, to publish such a revised set of terms and conditions.
So I, acting purely on my own behalf, now ask "you", the site owner/s directly:
1. Is it your intention to publish a full set of terms and conditions covering all REASONABLE aspects of using and subscribing to the UKW website?
and
2. By when will these revised terms and conditions be published please?
and
3. Will you please announce to all members that said revised terms and conditions are have indeed been published and are now valid?
I apologise if the above wording seems at all confrontational and/or "legalistic" to you. I can assure you that this is definitely NOT my intention - I am merely seeking to clarify what appears to me - and apparently to several other members as well - to be at present a far from clear situation.
If you ARE in any way offended I apologise in advance and suggest we all simply put it down to "good 'ole Winston" again.
Respectfully
AES
