I know I shouldnt but I will  

Mighty big of you
There seems to be some reverse snobery about sharing information, but I have never subscribed to that.
I might not let potential competition in on a particular auction, but I don't see why "you will do this only once".
Is that Gentlemanly?

What kind of an answer do...
What kind of an answer do you want here Barry ?
If someone here likes the site great,if others pass it by without bidding then thats great too.
I dont think this thread needed either your question or my answer.

Nothing new
about sharing such information, here -- thanks, and keep it up !

What I want
to know: is it considered a faux pas to refer to other design blogs/boards ? As if they were "competition" ?
I do this but I don't see anybody else do it. And I had one comment from a board owner, to the effect that she wanted all the conversation about MCM design to occur in one place -- her board. (At least that's the way I took it.) Is that unusual ?

I use one forum where...
I use one forum where anything goes and on another I use I saw someone the other day having to t y p e the name of a competing site because the word is banned and will not appear if u type it normally

I know I shouldnt but I will
ohhhhhhhh .. you are just to wonderful!!!! I don't know how we are gonna be able to repay you for your thoughtfulness what would we all do with out you...... Please post it again and again. Barry do you have any ideas?

The best part of this fo...
The best part of this forum is the ability to share information around the world !!!!! that is the beauty that this forum has,
I for one always try to thank anyone that post information that can be helpful to me, especially SDR , who always seemes to find helpful things for me,
unfortunately I never get it back... but that does not hurt my feelings as I enjoy good info, and will give it or get it any way I can,
As far as other blogs on design i find them 0 competition. I have seen several and would mention them if i subscribed to them and thought they were worthwhile,

LRF why the shitty...
LRF why the shitty sarcastic response ?

Id rather let you guys find this gem yourselves but I have met the owners and like them so I will do this only once.
that sounds kinda shitty to me!!! sounds like you are doing the owners a big favor and us a even bigger favor,

The other way to look at...
The other way to look at it,which was the way I actually meant was that I was inviting possible competition on myself to an auction where if you bother to look up the archives things tend to go cheap.
I have met the owners once when I collected my purchases from two sales,I liked them but I stand to gain nothing pointing anyone towards their site infact there is only a downside for me.

Thanks
Thanks for the link Killian 🙂
(Already knew of them though) 😉
I'm more than happy to share info on here..it is sort of the original meaning of forum anyway !

competition is no good but not at auctions......the linked site is an auction not a shop.
