I disagree completely. Henry seems to go out of his way NOT to plug his
employer. There have been numerous posts asking about the availability of
various items; the recent Expodisc thread comes to mind. If I remember
correctly, Henry gave the URL of the manufacturer, not even mentioning
whether B&H carries them.
When someone posts a positive recommendation for B&H, Henry sometimes says
"Thank you". I have no problem with that. When someone asks specifically on
the list when the D30 will be available and Henry responds "We're supposed
to get them next week", that seems perfectly within bounds to me.
I was on another list some time ago in which a member who owned a business
piped up on practically every post, mentioning that he had the discussed
item in stock, and quoting the price. THAT'S beyond bounds.
