I'm with Nmonteith on this. Two or three disgruntled individuals does not make "a large portion of the people developing new stuff in the Blue Mountains" as stated by Joseph Hinkel (AKA guess who).
Simon puts plenty back in by supporting the Trackcare initiative. He doesn't have to support new routing, which by common practice in Australia is at the expense of the route developer.

Simons has got a lot of web publicity out of this today. Looks like someones savage attack may of backfired.

I have posted a couple of times on that thread. It seems that sissy fuss, Joseph Hinkel, Anton Serilast and Iris DeBaglio are all pseudonyms for crank_n_up who is most probably Martin. It seems funny that the only site where he didnt get shut down was one where he is the one posting most of the messages.

Sounsd like a pretty fitting description for Martin, phm, crank n up and any of the other anonymous posters. Their tirades don't seem to have garnered the support they were looking for...

Has anyone on the seppo threads brought up the fact that Martin's text in the old Blueys guide was the biggest pile of spunta in history? No wonder Simon cut him out, it was the only sensible thing to do!
I won't be buying Simon's new guide because I'm still pissed about spending 50 bucks on the piece of shit he did with phm. If you're reading this, Martin, here's a few tips;
1) Just because 5 of your mates get a giggle from endless in-jokes, does not mean you should publish them in a book. The rest of us weren't in on the joke and instead figured that you must be a dick
2) Probably don't write books in a language which is not your first.......I don't mind reading stuff in mashed english, but I do object to paying for stuff in mashed english
3) A.K.A.................you keep saying ziss word, I do not think it means what you think it means

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a bolt war in Queensland" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go against a guidebook author when ethics are on the line"!

from the SMH (and prob Age) today...
''Will the foreign minister,'' mischievously asked Julie Bishop, ''advise the House when he intends to return to Bogan-ville?''
Krudd is clearly undeterred by the lack of accurate route information...;)

When do we, the Entitled, get a topo for the Farside at N.Neck? Or do we actually have to befriend and belay the Elders of Iron. I refuse to actually go looking using my own initiative. Gimme a guide! Sumbuddy?

Don't you have to pay the new routers to write a guidebook to new crags at Narrowneck?

Good on 'em for starting their own thing. I hope they're successful in their endeavour.
In saying that, why wouldn't you just put the details into the Crag and distribute your topo's through an already established medium?
