While I
hope that TFP is your default source for pool info, I certainly think there is room for more than one forum.
As far as mentioning products / sales pitches, I don't have a problem with "commercial" posts as long as their sole purpose is not to promote your product. If someone asks about a product you sell, then by all means, answer.
But also be forewarned, we don't play favorites. If you represent a product that memeber thinks is useless, we won't stop them from saying so. We only ask that they be polite in the review.
Well, we're off to Universal Studios - play nice.
