Well, that blows my dramatic "farewell cruel world!" speech out of the water. I was going to use so people thought I was gone and banned and shot through the cowboy hat or something while I was diving again this weekend.. <sigh> Ya'll take all the good ideas!

I never said I was leaving, I stated that I was restricting my wireless / lan settings for customers to access the board, as one of the emails I got stated that I may be one of several others as several board members log in at the store, This would include at least 2 moderators btw.

Dude,
You need to lighten up. If you re-read my post there is humour in there somewhere. Life is just too short to be so serious. I even used your free smilies service to convey the meaning and you still missed it. Take care.

My apologies, it just didn't read that way to me, even with the smilies. However, my statement was more a general one to everyone whining in this thread, not to you in particular. Again, my apology.JamesP:

Sounds like some folks need to get under water and share their experiences, insights and reflections with the rest of us who love this board.
Otherwise, don't let the door hit you in the butt ring...

There's no need for apologies. I have always seen Pete as having a sense of humour. It's just not that serious, like Pete said making mountians out of mole hills

I'm not entirely clear. What happened - is it that Tom R has voluntarily implemented a restriction on his wireless network preventing anyone from logging into SB from his WAN?
If so why?? I never saw any evidence of "advertising" his shop, and moreover, if any was going on, what's to prevent same from happening over another connection somewhere else???

FF,
I believe it boils down to a misunderstanding of how we do business here on ScubaBoard. There have been threads started by Tom and his associates about his business... we don't allow that here EXCEPT in the Market Place forum. We DO allow dive shops to answer specific questions about what is available and where. He sees us pulling only his posts and not others and so he is upset. Of course, once we pull them, no one but the originator knows that it's gone, so it's an easy mistake to make.
Instead of seeking out the owner (me) over what he perceives to be unfair treatment, he has chosen to simply lash out publically by announcing that he is restricting his patron's access to ScubaBoard. As I pointed out to him in an E-Mail, one gets the idea he would rather make an issue than solve one. Now apparently, it appears there will be a select few who can still access us from his shop, but I might be reading that wrong, I simply don't know. However, the only ones he seems to be punishing are the patrons he doesn't like as much. So yes, the logic escapes me too.
