    hi discreet
    i wasn't aware i had to quote every post i reply too. as i'm sure you don't either.
    i quote if a post i way back but my post was straight after yours and addressed to you directly so didn't think i needed too.


    can i ask who and how many asked/posted about a separate thread for such coupons as i must have missed those posts.

    as i said in my reply to BT
    PDFs are clearly marked on 1st pages of coupon thread in FIXED DATE post and states no software needed( most if not all are there) only exception is the metro/online magazine ones as they don't go straight to the PDF file
    here

    not too hard to find really

    all your thread does is duplicate info from that post. not same word order or text colour/size but basically its still the same info
    and with no thanks /acknowledgement at all to original posters/finders of these coupons

    Actually having 2 separate coupon threads causes confusion to users.

    All Discreet has done is copied MT's hard work, which is confusing and annoying and rather rude to be honest.

    all those coupons are already clearly posted on 1st pages of coupon thread

    in fixed date post.

    A please or thank you would not go a miss!

    All discreet was doing was being helpful, and it is clear that other posters have said the lists were confusing! look back on the posts and you will see. I am one of them that find them so, a set of different lists may be helpful rather than one long list, especially one that includes, gone but not forgotten!!! WHY BOTHER?

    There is cleary a group of people that are always grovelling to the regulars, with gratitude beyond belief! Why dont you just say thanks for your help, but we do it like this or that rather that be damn right rude!

    As you can see this is my first post, just joined but dont think I will stick around!

    did I say anyone was copying ??

    no accusations in my reply

    purely pointing out the similarity in text sizes and layout of both the relevant posts

    He said she said he said.... Lets move to handbags at 6 paces eh? Why doesn't everyone just stop me-maw-ing and go read whatever thread they prefer. Too early in a morning for playground squabbles. Come on, move along folks theres nothing to see here!!

    Discreet has a lot of "friends" who are new to mse doesn't he.???

    Wonder if anyone has asked Discreet where he got his "coupon" list from then, if it wasn't copied from the Official Coupon Thread. Different text size and colour doesn't change the fact.
