Maybe, but I don’t have a problem with it personally. Every pundit and columnist and commentator we like and respect - was at some point in their career a shameless self promoter.
Jim Rob probably doesn’t agree, and that’s certainly his right.
If the guy posted his stuff along with other things and comments, it wouldn’t bother me, but if he’s using FR for the only purpose of promoting himself, then I think he’s misusing the forum.
Hey, how funny is that? A guy who wants to break the rules to suit his purposes applauds another guy who got caught doing the same thing!
