Default I'm boycotting the Edmunds forums

A fellow asked for technical information & driving tips for his new Honda Civic. I told him that it was too much information to squeeze into one message, and referred him to greenhybrid.com & insightcentral.net's encyclopedia, so he could review their excellent archives.

Edmunds deleted my message. They also revoked my posting privileges & demanded that I must agree to stop posting links to other sites, or my posting would no longer be allowed.

I pointed out greenhybrid/insightcentral were non-profit.

Edmunds replied that it doesn't matter. They don't want to lose money, when the guy asking the question leaves their forum. They want the guy to stay in their forum, so they can boost their ad revenue. In other words, they are putting profit above being helpful.

I don't want to associate with that kind of greed.

So I'm boycotting edmunds' forums.
