Most of these threads are used as tools, tools to inform you guys/girls, tools to help us improve. You're in a sports forum, we would think that being mentioned all over the media would spark some interest. CNN, NY Times, LA Times, Howard Stern and many others have already picked up a story about us. If you don't think that is worthy mention in here, you tell me what is bigger than that. As far as the "would you sign up with us....", we're trying to make ourselves better for you people, don't consider it a cry for help

It's not that I do not think that the information you folks post is or is not "worthy" of being mentioned. IMHO, you guys are using your media exposure in a marketing campaign that borders on overwhelming to this poster.
Some members of the cummunity may not find it very offensive which is why I started this thread in the Rubber Room. With that said, I could have just as easily placed it in Offshore (where it may actually belong since it is more of a rant re: an offshore book). I also respect your right to conduct your business and marketing campaign any way you please without interference from some random member of this forum who is not even a customer.
If a few posters started threads containing the information regarding your book on Stern, CNN, etc. I wouldn't have said one word. The FACT is that you know and/or look for where your book is mentioned and ensure that there is a thread about it and periodically bump it (sometimes by responding to the thread just as it's about to move to page two).
One thread containing a list of the various media references would have been a bit more tasteful.
The bottom line is that I am unlike most consumers and do not respond well to certain types of marketing particularly mindless self-promotion.

I definately think that the new year and the new ownership should bring some sort of restructuring to the postin forums. Catagories need to be eliminated and consolodated etc. I love the look of the RX's posting forums compared to all others but there needs to be some balance so that a thread does not hang and get no response. Thank you. How's my English?
