I also strongly support Doug's participation in this forum. I've found in following LL for the past 7 or 8 years that dealer, wholesaler, manufacturer participation is a very positive, not negative addition.
In this particular case, Peterson didn't say "......you should buy what I sell, from me, not that other stuff." So how could the offer he made be "tiring"?
Regarding retailer, dealer, and manufacturer posts, I can't understand why more don't post and offer info to LL forum with its + 1 million visits/month.
