If someone has a connection to a company,and does not disclose that connection, but poses as someone offering "friendly" advice onthat equipment, then that is a conflict of interest. And on a list such as this, that is unethical.Just like hiring pretty women to walk up to strangers in bars as talk about how wonderfulsome new cellphone is reeks of dishonesty and lack of class. What I"m saying has NOTHING to do with B.D. or anyone else on this list (that I know of). JustI find it very strange that such an idea that it's okay to hide such connections when one istalking about that equpment in a list such as this. It is not. It is at best unethical. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
