when is spam spam?

[Frans]

Seems like a great post, filled with good info.

In all honesty their is a bit of competition between the grcs & the hobbs. I am not resentful of the post, but it does seem like an advert. to me.

I feel that both devices have their place, but I prefer the grcs.

What do you all think?

I'm wondering about that guy, myself.

 

[SkwerI]

does this dude sell Hobb's devices? The post does read like an ad. Since his pitch was unsolicited and it wasn't a paid placement, then it pretty much falls under the definition of spam.

Seems very spammy, but until we know where he is coming from, I give him the benefit of the doubt. He did give a very informative run down of the product.

Another thing to consider is that he only has 100 posts. That makes it seem more spammy. In general, I wouldn't expect really long good posts from a newbie.

I'm interested to see how this plays out.

Also, I think because of the importance of this product to our work, Mark and Tom might've been HAPPY for the company share an indepth review straight from the people that designed it.

Hmmm

It is Robert Phillips. He is a friend of mine, and a staunch supporter of Don Blair (Sierra Moreno Mercentile).

He has an unusual style of posting.
