I disagree with you JohnS.

I would guess that most of any moderator's posts are made as forum-members, same as any of us fellow forum-members, and think it's correct that this forum does not prevent people giving their personal opinions.

Any supplier [forum advertiser or not] gets fair coverage on this forum, and were it necessary would be given the right of reply.

And by the way I would still gladly buy you a breakfast anytime you are in my neck of the woods... or borrow a piece of equipment from you on the never never ...
