Can't we just end the back and forth pettiness and agree with the OP that posters who own a company selling audio products or are promoting one should make it clear either in their name or their signature? 

Except cars.....there is a nice correlation between auto and audio enthusiasts. It seems to emerge when the subject of car audio (blech) comes up.

people are apparently mad at ted denney, who is open about what he's selling, for daring to ask questions like "would you prefer a system that sounds great, or a system that measures well?" others are apparently addicted to making every last topic in audio about miller carbon. i don't get it guys. who cares 

It’s a free country. People should really stop telling everyone else what they should say or think or do.  Let the cards fall where they may. 

who is open about what he’s selling

or do you think it was pure coincidence ?

It’s a free country.

No it is not.

We are a country of laws.
