Help not appreciated

 

02/03/05 Have removed PNZ magazine Wiki pages (5). My initiative to set these aside (for Murray Porter the editor of the magazine - who was happy about the idea) is not welcome. This promotion of the magazine was done "without clearing this first with the magazine's owner". I apologise for this. All 5 pages and references to the magazine have now been removed.

 

I did not need "clearance from the magazine owners" when I put up a 12 month subscription for the winner of a quiz!.

 

My intention was to help with promoting this new initiative - unfortunately I got a rather negative reaction from a PNZ representative (by email). An opportunity lost. Our Masterton club also received a phone call from PNZ asking that I put a line on each Wiki page saying that this Wiki is not associated with PNZ. Dissatisfaction was also expressed with the name "NZPW" - it was deemed too close (similar) to "PNZ". One of our committee members has been contacted (phone) by a member of the PNZ executive. This person expressed dissatisfaction with our MPC Blog. The MPC has received a letter from PNZ stating that the MPC Blog is "waging a vendetta against PNZ". Our MPC received a letter from WPA stating that the MPC link was removed "in the best interest of Petanque". It seems PNZ and WPA are suffering from an obsessive siege mentality.

 

I have continued to always place the front-covers of the magazine (Murray Porter emails these to me just before the magazines are mailed out) on our NZPC Blog, and accompany the front-cover image with some positive text. -Tom.

 

Please note that the MPC Blog has been renamed to NZPC Blog (using the domain: http://mastertonpetanque.blogspot.com/
