Wasn't it Klink who used to send out the "official" RWG welcome PM to new members which (under a very thin veil of describing all of the dealers on the board) was written so as to drive people to certain dealers (mostly josh, if i remember correctly)?
I don't remember if this was on old RWG or RWG2... but I certainly remember a firefight about it...
If so, isn't this just more of the same... it would seems obvious that someone has allegiances or loyalties (for whatever reason) to certain dealers, and is acting in a fashion to protect them...
To editorialize: i thought that the addition of the '5 star dealers' thing at RWI was a bit... contrary to the idea of an 'impartial' discussion forum -- frankly 75% of the dealers here can get the same things, for the same prices as each other... how is shilling for certain dealers and ignoring their misrepresentations of products any better than what happens at replicacenter?
