I guess I don't see why it is important to anyone one way or the other. I can agree it may be in a grey area but who cares? If he were posting a new thread several times per week, that's another deal altogether. He's introducing some interesting products to the pool world, something few people are investing in at this point in time. I would think we would do everything we could to encourage that and very little to discourage it. If it bothers someone, simply don't click on the thread. I could argue for a lot of stuff in this forum belonging in the NPR or some other room but I just don't care. If a thread doesn't interest me,I just don't bother reading it.
