"Some of these manufacturers make significant contributions to the forums and would be missed if they were banned as a class."

I havn't seen any significant contributions during the last couple of years - to be honest.

They are here to sell.

All contributions need to be in line with their product portfolio first of all. Have you ever seen any of those guys admitting openly the obvious weaknesses of their products.


Unfortunately estimated >90% of the people around here are without deep technical background. Those people are not able to question those "capacities". That's dangerous. Newer members won't even recognize those vendors backgrounds, which makes it even more difficult.

Valuable contributions you can find in open forums e.g on DIY-Audio...

...as long as the contributors stay non-commercial.

That's by law of nature.

Just to make it clear. My position is not about critising those vendors products. It's about attitude and ethics.

Those guys can easily open up their own vendor section over here.
It won't cost them an arm and a leg. They can even deduct the
associated cost from taxes.
The funny thing is that at other places some of the vendors are running their own vendor section. It's in fact an AA associated problem.

People - like you - who feel thrilled about their great contributions
could gather over in a vendor section. That wouldn't make any difference
to you.

It is that easy.


Enjoy.
