Spring-cleaning

25 January 2026

Dear members

We have 3061 members of this great forum.

Whilst there are a few other forums, often making use of AI (and sometime 100% AI), SPREAD remains a ‘human interface’, which I personally moderate.

We vet all new members and reject quite a few whose intentions are to do marketing or just looking for jobs. 

For jobs, visit our sister site drillers.com which we have converted into a competency and training site; we only do ‘targeted recruitment’ if a client asks us to find a superstar.  There are too many other ’agencies' out there and we only search our database of people we have met (and appreciated) at our 650 workshops.

  • For reasons of ‘internet police’, we are obliged to spring-clean our membership from time to time.

That time has arisen again and, over the next few weeks, we will be contacting anyone who joined since December 2020 and who has either never contributed or has not done so for the past three (3) years.  We will not be contacting members who have been active.

To save on email traffic, it is possible to unsubscribe  remotely or by contacting our awesome digital support team. led by indah@rp-squared.com. She will do the needful.

SPREAD is almost 20 years old now.  I have invested over $250,000 in creating it, refreshing it and syndicating all your discussions on social media.

In the middle of this year, we will be polling members for ideas on:

  • What you want more of
  • What you want less of
  • What ideas you have to keep this site relevant

Please put your thinking caps on as to what's needed and - ONLY when the time comes - help us keep this site valuable and relevant.

In the meantime, if you like this site, tell others.

Kind regards

Dave
