What do YOU think?

I think that I agree with what others have said about viewbug. It is a SCAM
site intended to separate you from as much of your money as they can get.

I'm surprised that you say that. Read here please:-

No need. I understand exactly the issues regarding Viewbug.

http://help.viewbug.com/customer/en/...-viewbug-free-

Promoting this site is tantamount to spreading SPAM, and I don’t see that
paying to get one’s ego stroked is a rewarding idea.

One does not HAVE to pay.

....and then you will be insufferably nagged.

I've enjoyed looking at some great photographs on the site and have
never paid a penny.

However, that is not the point of Viewbug. Its purpose is to suck in
subscribers. I would prefer not to support such an operation. That you are
able to tolerate that type of marketing to look at photographs might be OK
for you, but it is not fine for me, and I suspect many others here.

What disappoints me most with what has happened in this thread, was when you
added an unwelcome cross post to *alt.politics.scorched-earth* as part of a
response to nospam. That was an act which, to put it mildly, raises my
hackles. Even more annoying is, this is not the first time you have done that
to inject disruptive individuals with little to no interest in photography
into this NG.

Because it is a fact?

Rarely a day goes by I don't get nagged to death by their spam...

They remind me of Gurushots: same objectives, slightly different MO.

David, your cross post to *alt.politics.scorched-earth* in one of your
responses to nospam is unwelcome, and provocative.

It wasn't intended to upset you. :-(

Thoughtless actions are not without consequences. That cross post was a
thoughtless and inconsiderate action.

What on earth were you thinking?
First you promote a SCAM site, then you contaminate this NG with unwelcome
commentators from *alt.politics.scorched-earth*.

Perhaps you don't recognize the similarity between 'nospam' and '%'. I
posted in Scorched Earth for a long time but rarely interacted with '%'.

Who cares? It was irrelevant, and does not matter a whit whether you
interacted with ‘%’ or not, or how long you have posted in a.p.s-e. It is
a trashy NG which promotes flame wars, and you have once again injected yet
another group of flame warriors into r.p.d. There is no excuse for that
action.

Please feel free to ignore posts made by "unwelcome commentators" and
remove the crossposts if you spot them when responding to posts.

Why do you think we should be burdened with dealing with any of the unwelcome
folks you are responsible for injecting into this NG?

The only reason I am responding to anything in this thread is because I think
you should know that some thing such as the cross post to an unrelated NG is
not appropriate, or welcome.

I'm not sure I agree that ViewBug is a SCAM site and have no idea why
YOU think so.

You just go ahead and enjoy yourself with Viewbug, I will not be playing.

IIRC, it came to my notice on Facebook. It is unlikely that Facebook
would tolerate a Scam site for very long.

...er, right.

Might you be mistaken on this occasion?

No.



I agree with this post.

In addition to it's, we can have hi's, her's and their's!!!

Help stamp out repetition, gratuitous apostrophe's, and NEEDLESS,
redundant, and UNNECESSARY CAPITALIZATION, **along with** superfluous
*EMPHASIS*. And tautological statements which waste space and can be
repetitive or even wordy in and of themselves.

These are *THE* internet *SCOURGES'*, along with exclamation point's!!!
