I see it as a advertisement for SAI, thats what it was posted for.
I'm not trying to single out SAI, just the fact that a promotion is being presented as a thread topic by a promotions agent.

Many vendors/sponsors in here promote their different products. Participation in here by most of the company's is done so by their owners and information exchange is reasonably sincere. I have had some informative exchanges with Amy. If I can see a new piece of CNC'd billet suspension or a carbon fiber body, a new wiring harness design, great, and I'm all for it. However I have no interest in a piece of pre-written copy posted by a member who only shows up here for one reason and its not to talk about Cobras, its to promote an interest they are being paid to push.

If it was Amy who had made the post I wouldn't have replied the way I did, but when a hired promotions specialist, who participates here only to push his product and contributes nothing otherwise, I find that to be very thin.
That and the post title and the thread was nothing more than a 15 second promotions "spot". Just let me know before hand that this is a piece of advertising copy.

I just found this one a little on the deceptive side, how come a recognized company rep didn't offer up the info in their own words the information on the radio show.
Instead,a paid promotions person is posting a piece of approved ad copy.

Maybe we can just agree to each of us seeing the ad from a different perspective Sal.

The way the "copy" reads is obvious to me, and if its just me, thats okay too.
