I suppose Mr. Black has a right to post a thread to promote a radio show, but if he is going to advertise a specific product or company should he not be held to the same perimeters that other advertisers on this forum adhere to?
That and every one of Mr. Blacks 11-17 posts are promotions plugging SAI or Barrett Jackson.

For me this forum is one of the few formats left where I can choose whether or not I want to view an ad or read a car company's promotional work.
Mr Blacks post is directly related to one specific car company and the promotion of their specific product and personnel.

His topic is Cobra related and I'm sure many members will tune in, but when I look at the list of advertisers as well as the banner ads in here, it seems to me he is pushing the edge compared to those in here who are paying to have their names, companies, or their products promoted and advertised here.

Yeah, I know I'm getting pissy but when the advertising world is coming from every medium, from every direction, every single day, sometimes I would rather have a choice about what I read rather than finding after the fact I clicked on some guys commercial, at least in here, IMHFO

Normally I would agree with you, however, I didn't really see his post as any kind of vendor violation. After all, he's promoting a person and a company that IS a vendor/sponsor of this forum, and IN their respective forum.
