    So, this is what I read from your post.

    Name calling is fine...but continuously posting newpapers links is not fine ...great!

    Re: helping myself, I don't want to: :-)
    I want the world to see how good these forums are.
    The message from here is loud and clear to Google policy makers, Goverment and other trade and business monitoring authorities when it comes to the overall care, welfare, for the deserving 'copycats' ....

    Hmmm... not sure how you read all that.

    But still, I am very pleased that you got "posting newpapers links is not fine".

    If you are able to grasp one small thing at a time, you should be heading in the right direction by next Christmas.

    I know it's difficult, but well done... keep following the good advice you are getting here.

    You reckon copycats would be done by, say, Christmas, ?

    Hahaha, another name calling...
    I guess its all due to the frustration mounting up seeing no passport copycat ads yet on google......


    BoP,
    This might help if you are bleeding in pain seeing a copycat site in their search indexes.

    https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2744324

    Oh, by the way,
    Those passport copycat ads used to be the first link that appeared on google around 6-8 weeks ago ....:rotfl:

    BoP, history of this forum says it all...check this post of yours, showing something. That too, is history now.

    In my opinion... no.

    All I was suggesting was that by Christmas you would be tackling the issues that need tackling.
    But even that will only be possible if you continue to learn from those around you.

    Now that you have learned that quoting from old newspapers is silly, who knows what other little gems you might discover.

    Wealdroam,

    What I get from here is not learning ...
    It is a positive energy that is hard to define....that energy keeps re-appearing more I breathe 'dodgy trade air' that prevails here...

    Yes, I have noticed that you are not learning very quickly, but keep at it, it's a slow process for some people.

    I have also noticed that you do have trouble trying to define things.
    Unfortunately I am not sure how to help with that, other than to say again... just heed the advice that all the good people here are freely giving you.

    Roll on Christmas, I say. ;)
