Hi Charles,
I replied yesterday but somehow my email never made it to the group
site........
Hi Charles,
Yes I am a Moderator/owner one of 4 of us, it seems I am the only
one still moderating though.
I'm at least 14 hours out of sync with the members in the US.
Any member can create a folder and a header name, & upload their
experts or indicators etc.
I have created a folder in the files section called Black Listed
Commercial Experts, I hope this format is suitable if not feel free
to edit it.
People can start a file under the folder header and name the file
after the Expert name in question, in the files contents which are
uploaded they could use a simple text file like "notepad" to explain
the what's, why's and wherefore's about the product.
I know people might be a little upset when they create this file, I
know I would be if I paid good money to have my account trashed by
an "expert". I guess we need to temper this with an honest appraisal
of what others are likely to experience if they tread the same path.
We are a private group not a public one, so I think (hope) we cannot
be held legally liaible for private opinions expressed within our own
private group.
