Huh? After you found that link, you posted it at post #195. Why should I repeat your efforts?

Cornroaster provides me with all information on the Midwest deals, especially those that you can see only if you are a memeber of the program. (I'm not.) He posted what he had on the lastest one. There was no link to it available at the time. I have it on my list to check again in a few days. Cornroaster always posts here the Midwest deals he knows about either ahead of or simultaneously with any notice he emails to me. I see no reason to duplicate his effort.

With this partucular thread I find that all iDine bonuses eventually get posted here, due to the good efforts of yourself, Cornroster, and others. Even if I post something first on my website, it gets posted here by those of you taking responsibility for this within a few days and before the start of the bonus period. So I wait a few days before seeing if I have to post it. I appreciate those of you who keep up on these offers. They save me the work of posting them here.

I belive in shared labor. So does the army of my readers who feed me most of the offers I post on my website. I have always assumed that you, cornroaster, and others wanted to take the lead in keeping this forum informed of iDine offers, and I appreciate your doing so, so I will not have to. I see no reason to duplicate your efforts.

I know of no iDine bonus on my website that has not appeared here in a timely manner. But if you guys stop posting these deals, I will.

Moderator: The title of this sticky thread is "Please Share iDine Bonuses". When people see a new post here, they expect to read about a new iDine bonus. Their time is wasted reading about this disagreement between Beckles and me. I suggest you remove all posts relating to this disagreement, specificly this post and posts 317,318, 319, and 320. I suggest you do the same for any other future that is not a post of an iDine bonus, suggesting to the poster that he or she start a new thread on the specific bonus. Thanks.
