I think so ... The persons name isn't likely to be that either ... I'll sort it when im better

 

[Chris Dodkin]

It's one of those 'pay to play' competitions...

Probably a nice little earner

Please excuse the double posting we have a minor glitch

The main problem for me is that you have disregarded the main rule of the web site regarding joining using your real name!

Beyond that if you are a company advertising then posting an advert in a forum like this is always likely to be received negatively if you don't introduce your self first ...

We might need to expand our rules a little more to cover such an eventuality as this, but in the mean while have a read through some of this http://www.realphotographersforum.com/faq.php
