I have sent a PM to the OP. Hopefully she gets it.

Carry on.

Yes, I received the PM and I will no longer be part of Lounge of Tomorrow.

We're a friendly bunch...

Reading back on this thread, I wouldn't feel very welcomed by this board either...

I know judimouse. She's a sweetheart.

I actually appreciated the link!

I love the movie but I'm not a seafood fan. So who knows if I would ever step foot in Bubba Gumps but it sounds interesting.

That may be true, GC, but not everyone knew her. And it's a pretty standard rule that self-promotion (i.e. linking multiple times to their website) is not permitted on message boards, particularly when it is done by a new user with no other posts in their history. I don't know if it's the rule here, but it's definitely the rule elsewhere. So it doers not surprise me that members would be put off by someone new who was self-promoting, even if she was known by other members, and even if she were intending to help people with her information, which I'd hope is the case.

Edited to add:
judimouse, I'm very sorry you felt unwelcomed - I hope you will understand that what you posted might have been misconstrued.

See, to me, this is enough info to welcome someone in!

Ooooh, I'm only going to get in trouble for this, but here goes.

I don't know judimouse. But has there been some intimation that she is affiliated the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company?

If not, and I didn't miss something, what the frell is with the sharp, pointy spikes sticking out of our welcome mat? She posted a link to a menu! Sheesh, call the cops!

I know I shouldn't be posting at all now, much less anything on this topic. But this is a poor time for me for this board to be exhibiting any more signs of cliquish shunning, snubbing, and other decidedly hypocritical signs of complete unswankiness.

Personally, I think she exhibited a bit of a thin skin. But I also think, that if anyone knows her personally, they should try to explain that Kevy didn't mean to be so immediately cruel ... that is, if Kevy will cop to that.

I think Kevy's reaction was to the fact that the link was to her own commercial travel site, not that she's affiliated with Bubba Gump.

Perception. I too have met Judi and know that she was just trying to inform us of what's happening, but I can also understand how someone who doesn't know her might get come to the misguided conclusion that this is advertising (again, 2 posts, 2 links to a personal commercial website).

It was misperception that's now been cleared up, hopefully on all sides.
