>P.S. Russ...you already know how I feel about vendors on the forums. I've never hesitated to contact you directly for info and the chance for >a more personal Howdy-do.
Sure. In some instances, I absolutely agree that Vendor presence can be a negative force. Still, vendors are people and people are diverse. I'm all for whatever one group or another decides as the rules for the particular forum. You will not have an argument from me.
I glanced at this forum less than one week ago. I recieve 30 posts per page with my browser. On the first page, over 30% of those posts were from a "vendor". That's just plain wrong. Now, my two posts are way enough for a day or two or more as far as I am concerned!
Discretion ,taste and restraint (many of us may tend to self-promote in one way or another if we eradicate our social filters) should be the order of the day for _any_ participant, and one hundred fold for a "professional".
OK, no lobby here. I'll check in when I have a chance and hopefully may add something here and there. It would be nice to see the negative association attached to binoviewers and the folks that use them eliminated.
Whether you all agree or not, I feel that this is an opportunity to turn this forum into a useful and pleasant discussion venue featuring all products rather than a vehicle for the resolution of one person's personal problems and associated anger.
