Can we please put a stop to this rubbish now ??
I think that everyone had made their points, whether warranted or not, and the continued posting of these sorts of messages can only have a negative effect on the Scoobynet community as a whole.
FYI - The moderators spend a great deal of their personal time, without any reward (not even an occasional thank you from most of the registered 9000+ members!!), to ensure that the BBS runs smoothly and to try to ensure that there is no chance of any potentially libellous or otherwise damaging comments being posted. Decisions to delete threads are not taken lightly, and usually involve discussions between several of us and the owner before they are removed. If anyone has a problem with a thread being removed then please contact the moderators or Simon directly, do not clog up the BBS further by starting a "Why was my thread deleted/removed" thread.

This thread (like some have before it) has turned into a slagging match, that is not conjucive for the community or it's members.
I havent read the previous thread that was deleted, so can't and won't make comment. But the fact that the first post in this thread states.....
"I was only acting upon information given to me by a member of staff at Prodrive. He stated that if I could get hold of the version I required, the company would copy it for me."
Seems a perfectly sound statement to me......as long as it is correct.
Anyway, because the thread is heading no where and views have already been aired, the thread will now be locked.
As regards to the subject of piracy (copying without the owners consent), any such posts/threads WILL BE REMOVED immediatley, as this is against the law (this seems not to be the case with this thread, for the quote given above!).
Regards,
Shaun.
