sorry to read about the guy talking about a business line that you represent as a dealer. suffice it to say that you cant please everybody and that someone will always find fault with what you do. obviously if you are a dealer in the big trucks and have a good rep (you do from my perspective -i.e. i would buy your products if i neeed them) someone posting about your products on this dodge power wagon page shouldn't bother you. i am sure it is hard to wear the hat of a mil vehicle owner and hobby participant. It must be hard to draw the line between what is advertising vs. what is shared interest in the hobby. i would prefer not to see advertisments on the page from the ffpw vendors except short posts to announce available new products ala ray @ helitool providing updates about production runs. paid advertisments help joe and that is a good thing. i'm also glad that VPW doesnt often post here (although i love those guys)as this is a forum for peer to peer discussion. It would suck if each time someone posted a need for a part if a vendor jumped in listing a price as it would limit the trades, barters and deals done here. it is not my page and what joe says goes. BTW, joe be on the lookout for an overdue contribution.
thanks,
