Could it just be that most other vendors DO keep their posts in the Retail Space section.
If someone else was pushing his/her products in the disguise of help it would be the same reaction.
You guys that are quick to defend should check this out:
http://taperssection.com/index.php/board,22.0.htmlPretty much the majority of our retailers/customizers/modders are there.
Most of these folks do participate in other boards and threads and rarely if ever when asked advice are pushing their own product unless asked specifically about their products/wares. Guy Sonic has a reputation for pitching his gear (over priced gear at that) in places other then Retail Space so he opens himself up for criticism.
Chris Church often posts replies, but for the most part, he does not fluff only his gear.
Chris is a good example of someone who dispenses good advice without always selling you something. In fact i'd guess that he has more helpful non-product pitch posts than he has sales posts. Many others as well. GuySonic not so much.
In GuySonic's post above it appears that he is suggesting a product only with his mod. Seems like a product pitch to me.
