Wagstaff Worldwide continues its long run of incompetent PR.

And I was wondering why the first of the two posts (ie, Potter's Lounge Brewmaster Series) was posted as an LTH event? Surely it isn't....

Why not post event details for those who may be interested in beer and may be interested in attending a brewmaster event? I like to share event details here because I think members may want to attend, especially if it's a wine class or wine tasting. Am I in the wrong to share the knowledge?

Hey Jaime,

The issue was that the "LTH Event" checkmark is meant if it's an event "by LTHers, for LTHers, like the picnic, the food exchanges, LTH-planned dinners, etc -- I don't think the person complaining about this was referring to your post, but to the other identical post about this same event from over a week ago. A tip on that front: coordinate the PR efforts a little better, since I don't think this is the first (or even second or third time) an event has been posted twice by someone with wagstaff.

The other issue is that the topic says the goose island tasting is 9/16, but the body of the post says it's 9/9.

Hope this clears things up.

Thanks Ed!

Just thinking that I never saw an "LTH Event" checkmark with this post, but I will make note of that for future. I am also thinking that the post subject does say 9/9 so if it was a typo with 9/16, I am sure it was corrected right away. Sad to not share events like this, in such a fun setting as the forum, without constant ridicule from a few certain LTHers.

This does clear things up,
Jaime

You're right, I pointed out the error so that your on-the-ball Wagstaffer could edit the post with the correct info. No thanks necessary.

Apparently it's necessary, so thanks Kennyz.

I'm sure I'm high on your list of "certain LTHers," so let me clarify. I am not suggesting that you and your firm should stop sharing events like this. I am simply suggesting that you should be more professional in the way you do it.

Hi,

There is also the expectation that posters report an issue rather than taking an issue into their own hands. It just makes this board feel more inviting when things are handled discretely.

Regards,
