I generally check the forum at least a couple of times a day and a few minutes ago I found a couple of porn spams and the following. I'm posting it here because I assume he wanted everyone to read it:

I told you so See ...this forum is going down the tube and so is this club..I read this every day and nothing is new and now you got a porn link site...just great...john h

My response:

John,

I have deleted your post because it is in the wrong section of the forum. The classifieds section is for just that...classifieds. We have set things up so unregistered users can post ads in the classifed section ONLY. That way people don't have to go through the registration process to post an ad that might be of benefit to the club. And yes...it does occasionally get spammed. I delete these as quickly as possible and move on. Getting spammed is just a way of life on the internet and if you or anyone else can come up with a way to get rid of it totally, once and for all, you'll be richer than Bill Gates.

I'm sorry you think the club is going down the tube. Perhaps you're not really a person who sees much of a benefit to a club? You've always said you wouldn't pay the $20/year to join the FCA so that rules you out as a paying member with the Rainier Chapter.

Anyways, there are lots of ways to make a club successful and I can tell you that posting negative comments isn't one of them. This isn't the first time either. When the list was via email, I think more then a few us us really didn't appreciate your constant negativity. You're welcome to reply anytime but you'll have to register like everyone else, post in the appropriate section and be willing to have a civil discussion on how to make the club better and stronger.

No hard feelings John. I've put a lot of my personal time and money into this club since I returned to Seattle over 3 years ago and I'm doing the best I can. I have work and other commitments that fill my spare time so that doesn't leave too much time put towards the club but I try to devote a few hours a week to it. Sorry that's not enough for you but you're welcome to get involved and show us what you've got...
