I would just like to say that I am both a Dive Buddy and a Certified Travel Agent. I don’t like to bombard people with messages either and my sole purpose on here is to meet new buddies and find out about great diving locations. I have posted a trip with group rates on the site. However, this is to just let everyone know about a dive trip/event that is taking place and if you choose to take part in it then great. If not, thats fine too. I feel like I am not PUSHING my business on anyone. I am just planning a trip like everyone else. And, yes, I am going on the trip posted on Dive Buddy and yes, I am looking for other divers to join me. I hope this forum is not specifically talking about me because I have posted a trip including the prices and contact information on the site within the last few days. I like hearing about other memebers trips too. And I would go on their trips even though I am a travel agent and could probably get a cheaper rate. It’s really not an issue of who is who and what they are doing in my eyes. If they are contributing to the site then what is the wrong with that? I have had numerous amounts of people contact me because they ARE interested in what I posted so there is POSITIVE feedback coming from it. I think people should be allowed to post and discuss what they wish as long as it is not demeaning another member or talking derogatory and abusive.
