Oh yes, you may be correct. I vaguely remember this. Could you please provide a source and/or link please so we can read it again as well as for future reference?
I'm sorry to say this, and I mean this in a polite manner, but believe you put to much blame and point fingers regarding "message boarders."
With all due respect, Charlotte, you give way too much credit to message boards, and yes, I am well aware The Royal Forums has been quoted in several newspapers including Billed Bladet and most recently The Times (London).
Then there are some lazy journalists. Why would they use members or discussion forums, who have
no idea what is going on, and use them and their sepculating comments thus turning them into stories? That makes no sense.
Thank you for your comments/post, by the way.
