[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 28301, member: 34"] You don't think that we voluntarily do enough free promotion of local products? Your idea has merit, of course. But, as you pointed out, it would complicate matters. For instance, they may be required to sponsor/subsidise the cost of running this forum (for instance). But that investment might then give them a certain amount of leverage, of the kind that could profoundly change the nature of this forum (sacred cows and all). I would support a "product announcements" section, where a manufacturer can introduce their product without fear of resentment. We have seen the beginnings of commercial products here, starting out as DIY efforts. The moment these cross over to the commercial realm (no longer only for the love, but also for the money), then the provider must declare it so. [/QUOTE]
