There is no deception here. If I was trying to 'deceive' I certainly would have used another name or gone to great lengths hide my email etc.
Many people are affiliated with companies and push there products. If anyone here owns Nortel, Cisco, or any other type of stock you have a stake in that company's product. There is no need to indicate that you own it when you say 'the Sipura 1001 is a good product.' try it out. Which is all I am saying. Grassroots is what this BIZ list is all about isn't it? Making things known. It is a business list. I merely present the product form my legitimate standpoint as a consumer of the product and how I employ it. And I do. That I happen to help the other half of the company along makes no difference. Having said that. If anyone 'feels' they have been misinformed I apologize. That certainly was not my intent. I have been a member of this list for quite a while and have enjoyed all the information and help. Does anyone out there support me? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Kohlsmith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 3:12 PM To: biz@taug.ca Subject: Re: [biz] Very cool little box.

Ok, so instead of hiding behind a pretty shoddy grassroots marketing attempt ("hey man I just found a cool device"), why not come out and state clearly that you're affiliated with these people, that you think it's the cat's ass, that you're local and you have the ear of the developers? Do you not think that all of those points are important enough to mention? Honestly, there's enough of a precedent set on these lists which show it's just good manners to state when you've got a stake in what you're calling attention to. You yourself have been on these lists for AT LEAST a year, and should know better. How many people make product or service recommendations here and disclaim it right away? How many people have you seen plug services and CLEARLY state "I don't work for 'em, I am just a satisfied customer" or "full disclosure: I work for this company" ? Why hide? If it's yours, or you've got a stake in it, why aren't you standing proud? I mean shit man, if you've got $thousands dumped into the concept that's a pretty strong indicator of how you feel. While I can't speak for others on the list, I know that whenever I feel deceived I make it a point to not only steer clear of the company providing the product or service, but also to make sure that EVERYONE knows about WHY I'm avoiding them. -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
