Heads up: This is probably the last SDM flyer I post for a while. (Ever?)
As many of you know, I've been frustrated with sites that have taken my sneak peak pics and reposted them elsewhere on non-SmartCanucks.ca affiliated sites. And, JUST LAST WEEK, on top of every flyer I posted, there was a blurb asking people to not repost my pics. In the past, I think I've been clear that sharing deals is great, but taking the pics and reposting them is NOT. It's easy to post in another forum, on FB, twitter, whatnot, "Hey, there's this xxxx great deal coming up in the next xxxx flyer" without adding my pics to your post.
Every SINGLE flyer thread I posted last week had a "Do Not Repost" on it. My SDM pics usually have this written IN BLACK MARKER on the front page EVERY WEEK.
Naturally, an hour or two after I uploaded the SDM flyer, someone cropped one of the pics and posted it on the forum where the Flags are Red. Wonderful. You know, I try to post decent quality pics, I try not to scrawl all over them so you can still see the details...which I KNOW makes it easy to crop out the watermarks...but, is it that hard to show an ounce of respect to someone who has demonstrated some consistency in posting flyer sneak peaks?
Okay, fine, you win, congratulations -- you can get your sneak peaks from someone else. It's no secret I'm not fond of posting this flyer, (though the coffee love has been great, here, and kept me going). NOT posting SDM certainly makes my life easier.
So...ahem...this is a GREAT time for anyone who wants to post the SDM flyer to jump in. (Actually, ANY time in the past would have been great, too...lol.) It's been...uh, interesting the last 2.5 years, or so.
See ya next we--...ehh, maybe not. Who knows? Over, and out!
[FYI: If you're wondering, "Why now?" I stumbled onto 2 other sites reposting my pics, (which annoys me) hence last week's "Don't Repost". Then, started accumulating down votes elsewhere, (which, "straw, camel, back", okay, down votes win, I give up). To be fair...if you gave me an upvote over there, I'm gonna assume you know my posts in SC - thanks for them! :razz: Ah, well. A small part of it is amusing, in a vaguely ironic way, that I snagged downvotes. Circular logic fail. Ah, well. Right now, it's just irritating enough to just say "screw this sh#t."]
[To the Smart Canucks who have sent me coffee (icons), if there's a flyer you really, really, really want to see...send me a PM...I'll try to get over my annoyance and post it for you] ;-)
[...yes, I really am this long winded...but, I'm making up for the future absence...!] :redface:
