Nice Tri I think people have caught onto you...if not, don't fall for this "self" promotion.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, I think you need to consider my company is only run by me. So self promotion is unavoidable. I believe that many can benefit from my website at no cost to them. As a stay-at-home working mom that is trying to use my time wisely, I like to link to my threads so I can more quickly visit them often.

We have a lot of people in RA that are running trainers, personal trainers and on and on......the difference in most of them and you is that they are members of the communty discussing topics and such and then when it comes up they offer their service (tastefully)-...... You on the other hand are coming in specifically for your own self promotion... Sad

There are a lot of smart people in here and we can recoginze you for what you are TRI-ing to do, and most of us dont appreciate your muddling up a great web site for personal reasons........

John, I had been wanting to post the same thing but couldn't write it to my satisfaction. You hit the nail on the head.

Thks Kerry -- took me a little while to get it down just right......(what I really wanted to say was something like: Hey you freaking B--------, either join the Club or Get the F--- out of here.... Angry

) But I opted for the more professional approach... Big grin

Because I am shamelessly self centered and there is an 'I' in tri.

Just remember, there is no 'I' in TEAM. But there is an 'M' and an 'E'. Big grin

Somebody observed that the OP actually did remove the link to the OP website, so maybe it isn't self-promotional anymore. (As if I have any idea what I'm talking about...)

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Dang, I was really enjoying this...
