Isn't that a little harsh, 'jamescarruthers'?

I personally have been a member of the VOC continuously since the mid '80s and regard it as one of the better one-make car clubs.

I have also been an active member of this forum for some 14 years. On the whole, I regard it as a pleasant place to be. While I find the 'lounge' a place of stimulating discussion, no one is obliged to enter therein. Yes, a small minority of posters can be abrasive, even impolite on occasion, but the mods generally do a good job in weeding out the downright rude. There are far more who are willing to offer practical help and advice to those requiring it.

Regarding traders, which is the prime subject of this particular thread. No one is obliged to engage with them against their will, and, as has been said, they are perfectly entitled to solicit stock in this manner. Isn't this just a simple case of 'live and let live'?

Regards, John.
