    As this is a public forum, surely people are not posting posts that would hurt them if they where to be copied:confused: I think that is why we have a username so even if posts are used we are protected

    interesting point Gareth... but many people on here are traceable, if fact personally I belive anyone staing they are " whatever expert" should be in a position to back it up, and thus lose out on this "username cover" - although I begining to change that view!

    THe question is more why would posts be copied onto a commercial site ( with paid adverising) - we post here , with full knowledge of the site's stance on not taking adverts

    edit- please forgive the typing, my "home" laptop seems to have a slightly dodgy keyboard
