It was a typo sorry.

Although this doesn't sound like the Joe meno I know I’ll bite.
The thing is, I signed up for Brickjournal thinking it was Brickjournal and I
got something completely different. hence the supposed site comment. Then when I
tried to correct the problem I had to fight to get myself deleted when it should
have been an easy task.

And about 15mins later I got a phone call. Yep I said a phone call. One of the near time head honchos called me to persuade me to keep my account insisting that I only signed up for Brickjournal even though I was directed to the near-time web site time and time again which kept asking for money “$70+ a month I might add.” I was also told that in about 30days I would be receiving emails to upgrade my account, something of which I don't want either. “I get enough spam as is.” I reiterated my desire to be deleted no less than 15 times over the phone and he just didn't get it.

This is fine these things happen from time to time. I just don't handle bugs
well I guess. My apologies for making this issue public but it needed to be
resolved. After all someone called me on a phone number no one but Joe
meno/brickjournal should have known as that's whom I thought I was giving it to.
Please know that the only reason I posted this to lugnet is because in my
personal opinion it was something that others needed to know. My intentions were
not / are not meant to hurt your bottom line.

P.s. This will be my last Lugnet posting on this. If future replies are required
I will do so privately.
