It's a Marketing firm - doesn't that pre-req the ability to break promises on an ongoing basis?

Oh! Another big "ouch!"

Well, I've just caught up with the earlier posts from this evening.

This thread has become very personal and abusive, far beyond the level of criticism I have posted of PB. I hope a mod wipes it.

Consequently, I will take advice offered, i.e. sling my hook. But not because I don't like PB, but because I don't like the tone of the thread any more. It is threatening.

Good debate is one thing. Bile and vituperation are another. Lightly barbed criticism of a commercial organisation is one thing. Personalised attacks on fellow MSE-ers are another. (And I know that Darragh is an MSE-er, by virtue of his membership, but he is representing a commercial organisation).

Those people who have simply expressed agreement with either side of what can hardly be called a debate are fully entitled to do so. But those who have been somewhat intemperate may like to re-read their posts in a couple of days' time. Maybe they'll feel different after their emotions have calmed.

I'll continue to post crossword solutions, if people are interested. Otherwise, I think my time is better spent with people of a gentler nature.

With huge apologies to the vast majority of contributors, including Darragh, who show respect to each other, and who, in the event of a discussion, are able to put their point of view perhaps with a glint in the eye, but without hostility.

Droopsnout I agree with the thread getting abusive and personal - especially on Tuesday (yesterday) - but you not posting would simply leave the thread with one less person making decent posts. Reconsider??? If not then I hope you will return to posting soon (if and when the thread gets back to being fun.)

I had a similar problem with cdwow last week. I rang them up and they said to try again in 4 hours as once the code has been entered, it takes at least 4 hours for the security code to unlock so it can be re entered.

I did as advised and it worked.

I agree with the above posts...
I dont understand what all this criticism of pigsback is for? Sure, sometimes they may not have the quiz questions posted up, or they may be a little slow to send out vouchers, but who really cares!!! Your getting something for free, it only takes you a few moments a day, and thats it, you get your points.
Ive only been using the site for a month or two but ive already ordered one CD for free!!!!! yes, i didnt have to spend a penny of my own money!! Im already well on my way to getting another FREE CD. Come on guys, stop being fools.

Don't go Droopsnout! I really enjoy reading your posts, and think that they are calm and constructive regarding the Pigsback wrinkles that need ironing out.

I know what you mean, but if all the good guys leave, what is left?
