this makes using cpf less user friendly. now i have to open a new tab, toggle back and forth trying to figure out exactly what products the manufacturer was recommending for "our" conversation. where as his post likely had the specific links only a click away. its not like he jumped in and started pushing his products on everyone in the thread.... he chimed in on a thread where his product was mentioned without solicitation. this is good product support, and clearly not advertising abuse. please consider the member's needs and desires and overall site usability, and not just their advertiser's status, before deleting relevant & useful information from an authoritative source. my 2¢ fwiw.

sonicj, there is a difference between a member giving impartial advice (which may include a link) and a manufaturer or dealer suddenly appearing here and putting links to his site in his very first post.
Normally, I would have just deleted the whole post as
advertising, rather than go through the hassle of having to edit it. But I made a judgement that this was a genuine response to an enquiry, so I allowed it. The clues to where the exact items are to be found are all there. If it is too much hard work for you to "open a new tab and toggle back and forth", well…
TOUGH $#!7.
BTW, I suggest you take a moment of your no doubt valuable time to familiarise yourself with
Rule 8, and consider yourself lucky that you have not been suspended for contravening it.
