    Not surprised lol, we are talking about pipelinecard!

    This is close to libel Bill. Everybody has been replied to - including you. Pipeline never actually received an email from you so I sent you a personal message via this board pointing this out over a week ago. Something you have neglected to mention.

    How about a little more honesty and a little less !!!!!!-stirring!

    Ben is doing his best and I begin to see why he doesn't usually bother posting to these forums

    No you can't say that. The last email I received from Pipeline was December.

    I appear to be missing personal replies aswell. Within the period specified.

    How about a little more communication. Starting with emails to everyone who's subscribed to the site to start with.

    So do I. Unpleasant truths spring to mind.

    Why don't you just tell us what all this talk - from you, and you only as far as I know - about 'Plan A' and 'Plan B' is all about?

    You know there is nothing in the monthly updates about them but have gone quiet since this was pointed out.

    Pipeline hasn't cost us anything yet and they're supposed to be trying to help us poor motorists to save a few bob. If they succeed we'll all be very happy. If they crash and burn we can always walk away.
    How about giving them until the end of this month to tell us exactly what they are up to - no more bickering because it's getting rather heated and it doesn't really help matters.
    We can each simply review our own position, after we've seen the official Pipeline response - next month hopefully!!

    And after the textual ear bashing they've had from this thread recently I have every confidence that their communications will improve greatly in the very near future. :rolleyes2
    Come on..., let's give them one last chance..., what do you say?

    I'd forgotton they even existed. I am registered on their site, I'm quite happy being left alone until 2158 when they arrange a discount for me at a petrol station on the moon.

    In all fairness, it was a nice idea and well done to the founders who tried for all of us, it's just a shame it didn't work out.
  • I'm amazed at the amount of bashing that the Pipeline people have got on here - you should be ashamed of yourselves! You'd have thought they were running a huge corporation making vast amounts of cash with the way that some people are talking to them on this forum!!!

    I signed up for the Pipeline idea some time ago and still hold out hope that one day something can be organised. But, do the people that are bashing them think it's an easy thing to negotiate with large oil companies??!!!!! I genuinly can't think of a harder, more complex, discussion to have with any business!

    The number one thing they need is for as many people to show an interest in it and support the idea so it gives them more bargaining power. Nick/Ben - please keep working hard to do what you can to make your plan happen. Obviously these discussions need to happen behind closed doors for now and plans not discussed on a public forum. Perhaps one last push of support is needed from all people so they have the maximum number of people to bargain the oil companies with?

    I look forward to hearing some positive news soon. Good luck guys.

    I'm not bashing. Honestly. Just confused. What Nick said on here and what they say on the monthly updates he refers back to are different and I couldn't understand why.

    Obviously, I wish them good luck too, I just thought a bit more transparency would help their cause and, as a result, help us too.

    Correct. But you didn't send am email query to Pipeline. Bill says he did and got no reply. We wrote to him via this board and said that we hadn't received any email from him.

    >> I appear to be missing personal replies aswell. Within the period specified.

    Correct again. I wrote personally to Bill. You are not Bill.

    >> How about a little more communication. Starting with emails to everyone who's subscribed to the site to start with.

    As soon as we have something to say - one way or another - we will send something to EVERYBODY including you (and Bill)

    >> So do I. Unpleasant truths spring to mind

    Nah - he's just not as patient as I am :-)

    Kind Regards
