advertising. You cannot represent yourself as a user and claim to have
experiencing a product favourably if you own or are materially connected
with that product. This action could attract the attention of the FTC
and result in large fines for Mr. Rehan under the *Testimonials and
Endorsements rules of internet advertising*.
"Connections between an endorser and the company that are unclear or
unexpected to a customer also must be disclosed, whether they have to do
with a financial arrangement for a favorable endorsement, a position
with the company, or stock ownership. Expert endorsements must be based
on appropriate tests or evaluations performed by people that have
mastered the subject matter.
/See/ FTC Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in
Advertising <http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/guides/endorse.htm>."

Of course, it would be highly unlikely anyone on the list would want to
report Rehan...but in case anyone does:
