Marcel's thread was deleted for no reason. It was a discussion thread about me getting a thread locked. I think it could have played out to be an advantageous topic for everyone.

Gimbel - I am not trying to stick my nose in your fight. I know you are a military guy and I appreciate your service. You might be a little unfamiliar as to how some larger companies work. My company is the parent company to about a half dozen smaller companies. Some of those smaller companies, even though they are under the same umbrella, sell the same products and services and are positioned in the market as competitors. They have seperate P&L's, seperate quotas, seperate revenue projections, etc. While we at the parent company are thrilled when either one brings in new business or exceedes revenue projections, we are equally as interested in why the competing company didn't get the deal. And we don't neccesarily like the marketplace to know we have more than one iron in their fire.

My guess is CI/CBid works the same way. Even though there may be more than one company and domain under the same umbrella - they are competitors and therefore the reference is not allowed.

You are a good dude and the amount of good dudes posting here these days has diminished all by itself. I would hate to see another one go away over a simple misunderstanding of big business politics

Ya know.... there was a day the even mentioning CI etc. was iffy.

Just keep it to cbid, relax and have a smoke.

I love smackin sven around as much as anyone and consider it good fun..... but if you really want to get deep under thier skin, piss them and yourself off.... what's the point? go somewhere else less problematic for you.

I have issues with some of what happens here and sometimes cross the line throwing darts too. But it is their show and their rules. If it ever got really bad I'd just leave.

Just my 2 cents, prolly worth about .5 cents currently.

Thank you Mikey. You have provided what Steve could not, and you don't even work at CI/CBID. A straight answer. =d>

I have your snailer here, you will receive an assortment of CI exclusive sticks. That is if I have any, no really I have a few.

No sweat my friend. I just hate seeing good people fleeing this place. It used to be a lot of fun.

And you need to lose my snailer!!! No assortment required. I am well stocked and would prefer you send something to your buddies in harms way.

I'm good like that. I keep the sheople planted in front of their computers so Sven can push more cigars that may or may not be as good as the ones they are replacing.

Oh, there is room in my inbox now.

Uriah, I see that I being the OP have been locked out of making anymore comments. I am still a noob here and don't know all the ins and outs or the history of this business. That being said, What Mikey said seems to make some sense, However two thoughts come to mind, being new to this site I would be more than interested in knowing any other sites that might fall under the umbrella of CI, why that should be a secret gives one pause. Hence your request does not seem unreasonable since I sensed no malice behind it. Secondly why Steve or Trish could not or would not say what Mikey said seems a tad unusual. thats my nickels worth for today all out of nickels now............................................
