Disclaimers and selling? That's what you think is going on with my posts?

I think your post is more revealing of your own mindset than anything to do with me. I supect it shows the way you approach your ALPA/DPA mission. Where your paranoia is getting the better of you is that you conclude that a customer that doesn't buy your sales pitch, or anyone else that has an argument to make is necessarily a competitor engaged in similar practices.

What you fail to account for is the independence and awareness of many, probably most, of us here on APC. It's obvious to me some are affiliated, and for the most part, they're honest about it. Conversely, it's obvious many of us are favorite targets, simply because we have a different perspective, or draw different conclusions.

If you can't handle differences of opinions, let me suggest an internet forum isn't the best place for you to hang out. You don't seem suited for open-ended conversation, where people might accidentally disagree with you. And this TA discussion, as important as it is, is bound to attract a whole bunch of people.

Meanwhile, I'll update my Ignore List. If you can't discuss this stuff intelligently, or with respect, please do the same.
