In fact it prompted me to look at the boards, and guidelines, which isn't something I would normally do. The point is that some boards are "...general discussion..." others are "...latest news... and ... discussions..."
Just seemed odd, at least to me, that on one that is surely "news" you get essentially a link to a third party site that is an advert, not even an article, for that site's services. If this site wants to have adverts for other sites on it, which it may or may not, even for finance sites I would think a more appropriate place would be How Do I Invest ("...get help getting started") or Share Ideas ("...Discuss Shares...tips and deals")
Hey ho, you have a point. It's a quick look at BLND followed up by a notice that TMF can help you further - yes, a company recommendation followed by a plug - or advert, if you like.
However, Ian has been posting those sorts of notices for years, and no one has bothered to criticise him for it before. It isn't like an in yer face advert, and I would have though a pretty harmless reminder thatBLND is worth a look.
Nuff said from me.
Like I've often said Arb. I don't know why I bother. As a holder of BLND I thought it was interesting and wanted to bring it to the attention of those that attend this board. I shall think twice before trying to generate chat here again. Thanks for your support Arb.
Ian.
