Re: Ari 't Hart Fly Reels
Calm down folks
I interpreted his initial post as having elements of both of a "simple intro with a here's my involvement in the fly tackle industry, feel free to ask me questions about it" and a "free plug for a company without buying an ad".
Doing the latter once, while being a bit sneakily opportunistic, is not call for the condemnation the post recieved. I also think his apology was sufficient and I hope the acrimony and personal attacks are over. If members of the board have an issue with the nature of another member's posts, let the admins know, and we'll take care of it.
Steely, if you want to post something in the "Lodge Den" section about "here's all the great ways to use Spam, etc while out camping.... and by the way I work for the manufacturer", knock yourself out.
Its not like the guy is an Apple rep plugging the iPhone. This is a Fly Fishing board after all.
I'm just trying to keep things as civil as possible.
