Dealers hijacking the discussions


I’m a very long term member and look at the forums most every day. I’m personally extremely irritated by dealers injecting sales pitches into the discussions which has never really been a problem before. Dealers are biased as it’s the nature of business and this is fine but I don’t go to audiogon to see shameless promotion. There’s one guy in particular that needs to go away. The fact that you’ll all know who it is says volumes about the amount of posting this guy/dealer does on audiogon. Does anyone feel as I do. Just curious.

The model example of appropriate dealer participation on the forums is Johnny Rutan of Audio Connection.  He only posts when someone asks for his input or is specifically referred to him, or when questions pop up about brands he carries and knows intimately.

I've yet to see him jump into any thread about gear that he does not carry to tout the brands he does carry.  That's the OP's point of contention here. 

And FWIW, I've never even spoken with Johnny.  Just my 2 cents from observing what goes on here.  
Audio Archon Mike , this guy is a dealer, He always identify himself a dealer, He does not promote, He will always You are more than welcome to listen to what he carries , very pleasant to talk to...
I think the issue here is bad behaviour, and there is plenty of that coming from non dealer posters.
