My 2 cents...
Devaluing their product in a public forum is not very cool.
My 2 cents...
...then they shouldn't have let Ed Carroll push the participants to the point where this happened despite many, many opportunities to correct the problem.
Ed doesn't want to monitor the board, the participants don't want someone like Ed monitoring the board...nobody's gonna win in that scenario.
If Ed was an even handed and consistent as you, there'd be no problem. Frankly, I think they devalued their own product, you enhanced the value of yours.
