Here we go again. In spite of the notation about no advertising Marianne has returned! Found her on two posts this morning. <BR> <BR>She left this forum a month or so ago after considerable flak. Have seen recent posts on Frommers, but none here until today. <BR> <BR>Fodor's do your stuff!

If we only had anthrax detectors this rapid and sesitive! <BR>

And what about run and bob constantly recommending a travel agent in Tuscany called Catherina ([email protected]). I am sure Catherina is bob and run and I am tired of seeing her useless plug-ins without any real information.

Who is this Marianne? I log on to fodors often and have never crossed paths with her.

Unlike anthrax, you can just IGNORE Marianne. Why start a thread, for heavens sake? With a stupid alias, no less. If your so-called "flaks" were ignored, those threads would sink to the bottom. Same with this one. Shame on me for responding.

This thread was started because for some weeks every single post on Italy was invaded by Marianne trying to drum up business. Pretty hard to ignore. And how could posts on Italy that were helpful to some "sink to the bottom" because of entries by this person? They weren't threads started by her, but additions to legitimate posts. <BR> <BR>I agree with Also Tired about Catherina. The bob whatever name is a feeble attempt to disguise another person trying to use the forum for business. <BR> <BR>Keep your dander down Maxine unless you know what is going on and why the complaint was made. <BR> <BR>
