I'm bothered by what many consider a perfectly reasonable suspicion of invidious commercial interest.
It's reached a point where every post praising something has to have a disclaimer. "I have no connection with or derive no benefit from..."
Why?
Consider this: If the positive comments concern a new product, or at least new to me, I'm happy the Internet gave me the opportunity to expand my awareness. If the opinion is that of a conscienceless salesman or someone with imperfect knowledge of the product, in either case, I trust my own ability to discover the truth. Quite often, I think, the poster might have valuable information coincident with a commercial interest.
The problem with Audiophiles is the same as with present-day society, everyone's afraid of everyone else!
With the exception of 'falsely crying FIRE! in a crowded theatre' I want my freedom of speech. And I want you to have yours.
