Some people don't know how, or choose not to, use the search tool that is available on this sight. It's pretty handy.

I very much understand your frustration, but I really dont think he knew that you were doing it when he started the course. He said he had done a lot of work on the course before covid, which must mean that even if he DID see your post that you linked now, he was already far along at that point. It is likely that he didnt see that you were working on it until much later than that. A lot of people come and go, cant expect everyone to read every post on this forum. I agree that it would be ideal if people asked or announced when starting new real courses in order to avoid these kinds of situations, but I also dont think it is fair to hate on someone for not doing it. If we threw rocks at everyone who has started a real course without announcing anything, there would barely be any unharmed designers left! For example, several designers enjoy keeping their work secret until closer to being finished, or until knowing whether they will be likely to finish what they start. We recently had a forum thread where people expressed frustration about designers having "promised" to make certain courses and then the projects seemingly falling through. Yes, promise was the actual word being used... That thread hardly made designers who saw it more likely to announce anything when starting courses.
Well the search tool is pretty flawed on this site for some reason, I searched for Kinloch and didnt find the thread I linked to, despite Kinloch literally being in the thread's title. I only found it because I had some tiny memory of the guy's username.
Yes, those waters around Kinloch are more treacherous than they might appear Ian!
Good feeling when you know the end is in sight, right?
