I agree.

I think the term "weasely propagandizing" is a bit much and rather ad hominem.

I apologize if I offended anyone. But it is how I feel about it. How else would you categorize language such as
"This is YOUR device!!", "Cannot even give you a hint; but please do not buy until tomorrow. " (after someone inquired about a competing product), "a landmark new device that is so crammed with features that there is no other 5 inch truly competing with it!", "PLEASE, spread the word!!"
Most of us know that there are other devices that can very well compete with the Pocket Pro; if a PR guy who has enjoyed the hospitality of this community comes in and propagates the opposite, then he is no longer acting professional nor ethical.

If he were that annoying to the general membership, would this thread have grown to thousands of posts?

We have thousands of members. I am not saying that there is no interest in Astak products. I am saying that it's highly questionable how Robertb is using this community to continue and amplify his sales pitch.

If there is an issue with the content of his posts shouldn't this be addressed in the form of policy regarding commercial posting?

Yes, I agree. We are going to work on a set of policies that will also address commercial postings. Until then I appeal to common sense.
