I don't know or am I familiar with the poster.After futher review I see he is a long standing member,so I woud doubt he would wait four years to do so.But for a quick glance here was my first impression)
My initial thought of the topic was that it was an underhanded advertisement by someone affiliated with the particular product. (I'm not implying that was the motive,just suggesting how someone without a clue would perceive it)
Of course the internet, especially in forum land, alot of topics,posts can be misconstrued since we have no tone,facial expressions or body language to fully interrupt.Luckily we have EDIT!
When it comes to my business I try to smash the competition,no hugs here!
