Joe,
As you said the technical interest caught your eye, for me it was the opposite - LOL
SSV/Jonathan's last post obviously show's he has a real product; the original wrapper was hard for me to look past.
Jonathan,
I totally can relate to starting your own business and wish you well in your venture. This forum is a good venue to try and promote your product. From a credibility and market perspective your last post is FAR more effective than your first
Carl,
Re: SSV's last post, while it is still a pitch I think it's fine - he explained what his product/service is which was probably appropriate under the circumstances. Link wasn't necessary again, but hey!
Personally, I find info on new/different products and services to be interesting and like to see that type of thing here. You have certainly dug up some cool things which are definitely fun to read. Ultimately you're the captain of this vessel and will need to determine what's acceptable from vendors and what is not from a promotional perspective.
This is pretty funny. No harm, no foul....
