Gordon, I didn't know that Paul had the ability to sell lights and neither would anyone else that doesn't know what he does.

I read the original post and thought "wow, what a neat idea" that was it. Never occurred to me that this guy sold them.

Ben "knows" that Paul sells lights. Had Ben not known that, would the thread have remained the way it was? OF COURSE!

My whole thing is that I want to know what the standard is. IF I COME OUT PUBLICALLY AND SAY THAT I OWN JET JOE TURBINES, does the thread get moved because I posted in that thread?

If no one knows that I actually own Jetcat and I post a picture of a new widget shown on a Jetcat engine, does the thread remain?

In this specific case, the moving of that thread was insane, not even close to bending or breaking any known RCU rule.

And Paul, you should never have agreed to let Ben remove the post from the product announcement forum IMO. I wouldn't have.
