RE: [DML] Disappointment with the Moderators...

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's no grudge. It has to do with underhanded marketing. Any attempt to
mislead a consumer is not tolerated in advertising. That's why there are
massive law firms dedicated to consumer advocacy.

I work for an ad agency and "guerilla marketing" has always been frowned
upon.

It works like this, an advertiser hires someone to post positive messages in
online forums and newsgroups to promote their clients products and services.
Basically, they are hired to pose as satisfied customers. This is worth than
spam because at least the average person can recognize spam. 

It's not that what they're doing is evil; it's just a very very very very
very very bad practice. And if it's true, I would choose not to do business
with someone who chooses to market themselves in this way.

That's why this issue is important to me.

Hi Everybody,

I am posting this with the utmost respect to all DML'ers. I personally am
just tired of this issue.........

I am sorry for this post, but it looks to me like this bitching has
persisted far too long. Please get over this and continue with your normal
lives.
