As one of the folk who contacted you colin I have to say I think you have misunderstood me - I and i hope no one else on here has a problem with you linking to external sites to help with an ID occasionally - but when all the post says in effect is "
look at my site, a great place for Ids" that aint help, it's advertising.
Wouldnt it make more sense to just help with the ID yourself, uploading photos to WAB if necessary, and only link to your site on special occasions ?
