I see in the latest 009 news that this is available, before I log on. I would like your feedback please

The mention of Grouply raised my suspicions. I am not sure if the negative information about Grouply is web hysteria, negative campaigning or is indeed founded, but until I find out more I think I'll give it a miss.

In any fact I'm not sure that having access to links to general railway video etc is going to be much use. There is so much out there already and I'm not sure it will help me find the stuff I really want. I'd much rather be guided by what fellow members on this forum (and ngrm-online) know about and help filter the vast amount of information around.

I share Graeme's hesitancy on this and like Graeme was also suspicious as soon as I saw the Grouply web address. There have been allegations that Grouply has harvested IDs and of spamming that I would need to be reassured about before I registered. I am also rather reluctant to jump straight in when the announcement in the News did not give any indication of who had submitted this information.

Can Mark the Editor provide confirmation that this came from a bona fide source? As Mark is not a member or the forum (I don't think he is anyway) then perhaps a Committee member who is a forum member can take this up and look into it, and let members know the outcome?

Thanks Graeme and Mick

I think Mark does a great job with editing the news (I know I would no want to do it) but I just wish there would be a disclaimer or title for an advert or an offer!

Regards Jeff

A big thank you guys for the warnings. I could have easily been hooked but I am by nature wary , especially with things 'the web'. Ignorance is not always bliss  :o. Cheers john.
