RE: Sorry about that...

I am simply trying to get it straight; whether placing an enthusiastic message about a product you actually own VS simply "talking up" a product because you like the brand/owner/design/company is allowed based on the rule-set.
I happen to like quite a few products that I do not own but that does not really qualify me to 'talk them up' without the appearance of an advertisement.
SO, perhaps I was out of bounds?
I simply KNOW from reading this forum over the last few months that a "press release" (such as you posted and please don't tell me it was not a release of information for a purpose other than exposure) is NOT something that would be considered "ok"
Perhaps the company in question gets a pass?
Just trying to see what fits in around here to avoid appearing as a drum beater but to share my experiences of OWNED equipment, not promoting something to garner attention to the brand/owner/company/product.
Last time I checked the prices of adv. in major magazines, well you get the picture.
(perhaps someone with more experience with this could chime in and set me straight?)
--I am simply trying to sort out "what goes and what don't go" early on.--
Then, I do find this, which seems appropriate--
