Point taken!
Ignore is the best feature of the new software!

I welcome witty.You can put me on ignore also, but then you'd miss my witty remarks.
I could have sworn he said his site had all the information he needed.

I thought it was against the rules to ignore a moderator. heheheh
You might want to consider ending the goodie train completely, though -- "huge contribution" or not. Any 'incentive' is too much and muddies the waters.
If this were a taxpayer funded operation, you'd have a valid concern. But it's a privately owned for profit operation. The money can go where it wants.
You miss the point. Just because it CAN go "where it wants," doesn't mean it SHOULD go there, and it doesn't matter a bit just how the subject is owned. It still smacks of a pay for play.
And RR is much nicer easier to use and more updated than POLICE CALL books ever were. I just wish more folks would submit updates and not keep information to themselves.

I much prefer posting my own information on my own site, for no reason other than I can post it in a format I like and arranged how it works best for me. I can also add extra information and update it as often as I like.
And there is nothing wrong with that...

The only question I would have is if you have all of the information you need on your site then why do you come here?

Well my site contains information on my local area which only really matters to people close to me. RR has a much wider range of information (mostly about equipment). Changes and developments in the US of A will happen here in the future so I like to keep up to date on what is happening in general.
100 % with you! Share what you have. Some "people" are against it around these parts. Sad.
Scan On. And share please.
I used to run my own site. After a few years, it got to be too much like work, so I decided to donate my data and all the rights thereto to what I considered to be the best host for the info. Now it's all in the RRDB. I don't always agree with their policies regarding the DB, but I still support the DB with premium membership and data submissions, and I refer people here first.
If I believed that there was anything unethical going on between Radio Reference and any scanner maker or anyone else, I would not be here.
Yep it's too easy to think the whole world is like the US. Most people would have culture shock if they ever left the USI think some have missed that PB_Lonnie is in Tasmania, so his needing to wing it apart from RRDB (which, while worldwide capable is really mainly North America centric).
You miss the point. Just because it CAN go "where it wants," doesn't mean it SHOULD go there, and it doesn't matter a bit just how the subject is owned. It still smacks of a pay for play.
No, I didn't miss the point. Your point isn't valid. RR and Uniden can engage in whatever legal business relationship they want to. There's no requirement that YOU approve.
