Clark,

Once again, you have missed the point in your sentence by sentence diatribe. There are two clear and separate points here:

1. Is the fact that you and others are promoting on the forum
2. Relates to the posters original suggestion to create a database relating certain conditions at Chinese schools.

Let us look at the first point.

Now take note and don�t get your knickers in a knot, the point is that you and others are blatantly advertising and promoting your websites on this forum, if you wish for people to visit your site, great, but this is not the place for you to be advertising it. Mention it, discuss it do what ever you will, but there should be no provision for you to advertise it, provide links to it, or anything of this nature on the forum itself, if you wish to gather the members of Daves ESL to visit your site, again, great, then there should be two options here, either pay for it or provide the information in a PM, simple as that.

Now, in regard to the rest of your diatribe, your site is made up purely of copied outdated data, which you have admitted to, in the unsuccessful attempt to offer something that is useful, perhaps it is to some, but those who perform even the smallest amount of research, will discover that what I stating is indeed fact, it is outdated data, prettied up to make it look newsworthy.

Furthermore, if you think that for one minute that I, or others, believe that you are providing this service out of the kindness of your heart, that is truly laughable, you state that you have made no money thus far from the venture, but in the same breath announce that you are accepting advertising revenue from the site, when such revenue exceeds your costs, what then? Will you start paying for your own advertising on this forum � I think not.

The mere fact that your site is now receiving advertising revenue is due, to a large extent, on the FACT that you ramp up your site and throw your posts around this site like things are going out of fashion, advertising and promoting at any given opportunity on this forum, which, as you are well aware, directly relates to the number of hits you receive on your site, which directly relates back to � you guessed it - advertising revenue.

So, if you wish to continue to scribe long drawn out plies of misinformation on this topic, it is no skin off my nose, however, do not attempt to insult the intelligence of readers by trying to gloss over the fact that your incessant ranting and promotion about your site on this forum does not directly affect the present or future profitability of your site, because that is simple HOGWASH, for even the simplest citizens know: more hits = more revenue.

As to my involvement or otherwise in regard to the issues raised in this post, and the services that I may or may not offer, is not for discussion here.

You are promoting your site on this forum, that is the bottom line, there are appropriate ways and avenues in which to do this, and it is not here.

I shall address the second issue a little later



I think it is you that is missing the point. We are all here trying to help eachother not tear eachother down and rip into website we don't like.

Stop acting like a MOD wannabe.
