Good by to all

This as got to be the shortest stay I have ever had at any site

The site does not live up to the expectations I had of it 

I find it no better than Facebook  in fact Facebook is more like what this site is

the forums are no more than title tatter you find down the fish market

 and have no place on a site like this that should be dedicated to what the site name suggests

Pictures Of England  30% of the images are just that but 70% should be filed in the bin

I wish you well

A.S.V 

I will say goodbye Anthony but I will have to remind you that this site is available for everyone to display their photographs, whether amateur or professional, and I, personally, have found the site extremely useful when doing my research as to which places in England to visit next and what attractions there are in the vicinity.

I first came upon this site when looking up places to visit in the Cotswolds.  I would also like to add that the site is also useful for providing information about the festivals, carnivals and customs that England has to offer.

You may not like the site but you appear to be arrogant and extremely narrow minded.   I also think your remarks are extremely unkind. 

Why don't you set up an alternative website if you think you can do any better.

Sorry you feel this way Anthony but so that members can see how your opinion has changed I provide the link to your introduction http://www.picturesofengland.com/forum/User_Introductions/3690

Anthony, I am sorry to read your low opinion of POE. Indeed, your caustic comments almost seem personal which seem hard to fathom considering you never made any real effort to become part of what you condemn.

I feel compelled to defend Chris and Sarah who have so diligently and lovingly toiled to build this site (and may I add, at great cost both monetarily and personally). POE is truly a place where anyone need only "speak friend, and enter".

To criticize the photographs here displayed is to criticize the members who so diligently spent their time to take them and to share them with us. If you don't like someones work then move on to those ones that you do enjoy and keep your opinions to your self. Furthermore you demonstrate a great lack of appreciation to the untold hours Chris and Sarah spend pouring through, sorting, and organizing the photos so that they are beautifully displayed and easy to find.

While you are entitled to your opinion I feel that your barrage of acid comments were both unkind and inappropriate. Your tirade reveals volumes more about you than it does to hurt POE. All you needed to do was to quietly leave.

Whereas, under different circumstances I would have wished you a fond farewell, I simply now wish you good riddance.

Let it be known to all who enter here, when you criticize so as to attack rather than instruct, you offend the entire POE family.

it all depends what you want on a site every one is different if i want to join a site i always test the water first to see if it is a satisfactory site.

one thing i look for is whether there is any bad language then i leave it alone i find this one very friendly and well run,a bit quiet but that suits me there are plenty of topics to browse and comment on so i dont know what our friends gripe is.  good riddance i say.
