Re: Re: Guest Posting



Hi, all.  I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that anyone had a problem
with guests posting ridecamp, but rather with guests posting ANONYMOUSLY.


It does kind of detract from the credibility of the message, and the people
you have mentioned, all of whom are "most valued guests" don't do it.
