Oh dear ... Dave - you've made the old mistake of rising without reading. What was displayed was how the US thought processes might be working followed by
Doing the old 'gag' about hard work is irrelevant. The forums are indeed quiet, but if this thread reflects anything (and it may) it is simply because GC.COM have not been seen to show any inclination to restore equilibrium to the UK. Quoting the DPA to me is silly: I lecture in it, operate it, and know it backwards. You are simply wrong - as is nearly every shop assistant and telephone operative who screams the same cry. Some confidentiality agreements may be applicable - thats fine.
I am not going pander to US or other vindictiveness on any caches I submit, so it'll have to remain a sock puppet for the present, but doubtless the old US servers are doing IP scans at this very moment and feeding you back the answer to your question: issues of Data Protection??
You're a company man now and that is perfectly reasonable. The issue many of us have is with the direction of the company and then way it treats its punters, and those that gave their time freely. Two reviewers handed in their cards over this and four months on the 'motely crew' are nowhere nearer re-establishing a good and happy UK caching environment.
We all know Dave that you are a good man in difficult personal circumstances out on a limb in north Wales. I understand your defensiveness but getting back the UK vibrancy wont happen through GC.COMs current approach - but they may not care. Or do they?
