I didn't ask for respect. I asked for common decency.

So if I post a hundred times and mention I have a deal on something
once I'm a bad person? We sell almost anything A/V so "doing business"
is always in the mix somewhere but you'll notice I've give equal time
to guys overseas who are highly unlikely to buy anything from me. Yes,
I'd like to have everyone's business. No, I don't expect to. I just
speak my mind as do you.

I don't agree with you that all magazine reviews are motivated by
sales. I know guys who write them who aren't selling anything. These
magazines aren't like Joe Weider publishing a magazine and selling
fitness products.

Since you are not the moderator, if I feel it's appropriate to mention
here I will. I don't make a habit of it but once in a while I do if I
feel it's particularly advantageous to the enduser. So sue me.

I have respected that since I first posted a newsletter years ago and
got flamed.
