I haven't read the entire thread, but was suprised to see the topic come up at this time unless it is competitor bashing (was it?).
In an Astak thread/discussion, Robertb promoting his company's product didn't bother me at all so much as it has other non-Astak threads when all of a sudden in the middle of a totally non-astek discussion there is a big plug suddenly dropped without contributing to the particular topic...making it feel like an unsolicited "pop-up" add.
That being said, I find his posts informative, even if overenthusiastic, when discussing Astak readers. I even felt bad when he was criticized for announcing a preliminary price that was slightly lower than actual retail. Personally, I'd rather have the best information available at that time than none at all. Perhaps vendors just need to be more careful to make clearere in their wording what is planned versus actual.
