No, theres absolutely nothing wrong with that - i admire him for his enthusiasm and the support he has shown. The thing is he is supposed to be posting as a 'fan' with his fan opinions - which is totally cool. With Jamie though, and this is no disrespect to Jamie, he (along with certain others) are in your confidence and so privy to things happening in the line that we all don't know about. When he was posting in that thread (and many others on the board) he does NOT disclose he knows more about the figures and what actual plans may be so we all assume we are on a level playing field with discussing what they 'might be' with him, when in fact it seems we aren't a lot of the time. The same goes (although to a lesser extent) for Phillip, posting once that he had already given you ten Mega figure ideas before Jamie had 'spontaneously' started the 'Your Top Ten Mega Ideas' thread, and also about how great it was that the cat was 'out of the bag'. Nothing wrong with people here being in your confidence at all, it's totally your choice and own personal business, but if these people are going to be writing articles, reviews or making informed comments on the forum seem like uninformed ones then they need to be TOTALLY straight and upfront with the site visitors about the viewpoint they are posting from otherwise it can be very misleading, and you end up getting the kinda reactions you are here !
