    Still not pulled the trigger yet on renewing (with anyone!).

    Started to think who else would offer the products/services I'm looking for from either IPSE/QDOS ... and found the FSB website - not the Russian lot

    FSB Business Essentials seems a reasonable option - anyone have this or looked at it ??

      Read some posts/reviews on FSB Insurance, and not convinced about their support from the moment the brown envelope arrives ...

      Think it will soon be coin flip time between IPSE & QDOS

            The "ignore list" is your best friend in that regard. Unfortunately, you do still get to see quoted text you'd rather not see.

              Hmmm. Assuming that there may have been a change of heart underlying this comment, that I find a little refreshing. In that along with the words "military intelligence", the words "IPSE, friendly and forum" are somewhat oxymoronic?

                Sarcastagging has long been an endearing feature of the IPSE forums. "Informative" when someone spouts drivel. "Useful" when someone makes the most pointless post. And "friendly" when someone gets into a forum spat.

                Actually their forums are pretty friendly, if a tad quiet at present...

                  Thanks for the response, appreciated. Though I gave up on them quite some time ago, I concluded that they (forums) were anything but friendly. Particularly, when trying to influence things (for the greater good) the only two responses that I received were (from TPB) to circle the wagons in a joint defence or to say the information I wanted to learn from was confidential. Ah - I forgot, the third response was to threaten a ban. So, if the place is (still) quiet, it's only TPB who are to blame. I guess some things simply aren't going to change.

                  Edited to add - I just remembered the fourth response, deletion of posts from the forum.

                    IPSE have just posted their Financial Statements. Results show another substantial depletion of Members' Funds. IPSE-US funded to the tune of £180k out of UK Members' money. Go figure...
                    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).
