I agree that it was unethical of MN to use the advert, but it has now been thouroughly debated. I for one am much more knowlegable about formula, the advertising ban and the cynical tactics of formula companies thanks to you and to this
debate.

This is what it's all about surely.

You all make excellent posts and spread wisdom on this wide forum. You provide a truly magnificent service to women from all walks of life.

I joined MN a couple of months ago and was so impressed because of women like you.

You are my favourite MNers. Please don't go. And if you do, let me know where you're going. Please.

ooo - didn't realise the list had grown (wry smile).

expatinscotland · 24/08/2005 15:48

Damn! Don't go. Besides, the place won't be the same w/o moondog when she's on the piss .

I haven't posted on any of the threads, and I haven't read them all the way through. But can anyone tell me if any of the mumsnet team have commented on the situation, and if so what they have said ?

SoupDragon · 24/08/2005 15:54

The advertising campaign has been accepted and paid for and will be staying.

How do we know Mears etc are leaving? Where does it say it? Can anyone do a link as I havent been around for a while and have missed this.

ooo did HM and JulieF say they were going too??

Don't believe that HM - and she knows why

CarolinaMoon · 24/08/2005 17:18

Spidermama, I totally agree .

Hopefully when the current Milupa/MN advertising contract has expired (unless it gets pulled sooner by trading standards ), that will be the end of the relationship and those lovely MNers will come back.

Phew! Lockets. I'm glad to discover that reports of your departure have been greatly exaggerated. Possibly by me.
I'm trying to keep up with these marathon threads whilst cleaning house and packing for hols.

I thought 'mears' was only her midwife name and that actually she posts under a different name when she just wants to be herself and not asked questions about breastfeeding etc.

So will both characters be leaving? or just mears.

expatinscotland · 24/08/2005 22:21

Just hope I'm lucky enough to get a midwife like mears when it comes time to deliver this one!

Mears, we miss ya!

MarsLady · 24/08/2005 22:23

hinker is gone. Come back hinker.... you know you wanna.

She's definitely gone though!

I am waiting to see what happens when mumsnet team come cack from holiday. Am certainly debated out and won't be adding to those threads anymore.

I only ever post under this name Hattie05

mears · 24/08/2005 22:27

Thanks for your kind words everyone - there are as many who couldn't give a damn though

princesspeahead · 24/08/2005 22:31

I hope the mumsnet team are catching up from an internet cafe on the costa del whereevertheyare or they will have a hell of a shock (and a marathon reading session) on their return....

Hattie05 · 24/08/2005 22:37

Didn't you used to be someone else though mears? Pleeeese don't tell me i'm going mad

mears · 24/08/2005 22:39

Hattie05 · 24/08/2005 22:43
