in ages.

If you are going to attempt to pretend to be a third-party the least you could do is use a different
email address at a different domain for your posting.

No, the best rider site is that of Nicole Cooke. EVERYBODY knows that.

There is a "Please contact me by phone" tickbox on the homepage.

Anybody know Paul Smith's number?

Well it made me laugh ;o) so maybe he is really funny.

This tool and box thing seems a little bit harsh...

I never pretended i was a third party promoting someone else's website. You just interpreted it that
way🙂) All i'm trying to do is get some visitors and promote the site.

Give it a go - you might even enjoy it. Or you'll really hate it...

Then what you should do is say "I have a website with cycling stuff at http:// etc....", simple huh?

Seems entrely justified given the misleading way you presented your site.

*Cough* *splutter* *gasp* ........

Talk about barefaced fibbing!

If you weren't pretending, why the h*ll didn't you just say "Have a look at my website"?

To say, as you did, "Has anyone else come across ibboworld.comibboworld.comOpen ↗ ? It's from John
Ibbotson..." without mentioning that you *were* John Ibbotson is weird in the extreme if it wasn't
your intention to pretend that you'd somehow found this site.

Try honesty next time. Whatever the merits of your site, by presenting it the way you have you've
[censored] a lot of usenet readers who are only too familair with the "I've just found this great
site" ploy and you've damaged your reputation here with you very first post.

Well, you've gone about it the wrong way then haven't you.

I hate it already. I hated it when I went there just to check you were pretending to be yourself. I
hate it because you have a Flash intro.

"I never pretended i was a third party "

Do you often describe yourself in the third person? "The guy is really funny!"

and for the conspiracy theorists....

A quick google reveals that a charcter who goes by the name of [email hidden] has only
ever posted to usenet twice (+ one follow up). On both occasions it was to mention a hugely funny
site he's "found". No prizes for guessing which site.

Eh? "The guy is really funny".

Well, let's just say Ian Smith thinks you're not being entirely straight. He probably wouldn't have
beeen bothering to look at the site, and the fact that he's heard you've got a flash intro puts him
off even more.

Why _do_ people do that? Users uniformally hate them. It's a general rule of thumb that the more
money is spent on a website, the worse it will be.
