Dave, I am truly sorry that I have offended you, but there really doesn't
seem to be much point carrying on this any further as it appears I am
never going to convince you.

With respect, it's not quite the same thing. It's like standing on a
soapbox saying "buy this" or saying to someone in the pub "I think this is
good". A recommendation isn't advertising.

Yes, as I have said several times. Then it would have merely been a
recommendation. Once someone got to the site, they could decide if they
wanted to buy the item or not.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, as I hope you will accept that I
am. Once again I am sorry if I upset you. I sincerely hope it won't come
to getting ISP's involved.
