Robert,
I don't know who you are refering to in this sentence:
"I would like to extend this to people who may not have a professional affiliation but have a very strong allegiance to a particular manufacturer’s product."
Tommy: I prefer to keep the conversation civil so I will not name names. I am referring to posts were people are talking about the plus/minus of a product from Brand A and some zealot of Brand B feels that they have to chime in that their favorite can do this that and the other thing.
To all: I appreciate and support the free flow of ideas that several of you have listed your endorsement of. The goal of my suggestion was not to censor anyone. It was to make a suggestion to help keep posts more on topic. If the conversation is about brand X, let the conversation be about brand X. If the conversation is about a general issue about any keyboard then it's everybody into the pool. As I stated in my way too long intro, the manufacturers have an important role to play in a successful BBS forum. As do the zealots. Just give it a break sometimes. You can't bully people to come to your side be constantly droning on your message.
