okay, so i guess now we all better stop posting any type of sales speak from any of the major oil company site as well like, Castrol Mobil, Shell-Pennzoil-Quaker State, Chevron, etc. They are no different from Synergen-no? And, i would like to be able to at least click alink to go and check out a product to see if its truly better than one listed here, instead of being held against it.
that said, i understand the logic here as to help increase sales for the MONEY the various vendors are spending on THIS SITE, ie. advertising! Every link to another non-vendor site is perhaps, theoretically on less for this site's paying vendors, which help keep this site alive w/out good donations.
if this site is being paid via the amount of "Clicks" or visitors that come via a portal from this site to theirs then yes, i totally understand the logic here. however, no amount of restriction is gonna get people to buy from vendors on this site who pay money to advertise simply because they're easily accessible.
again, it is the right of this website's OWNER to promulgate what the policy and rules should be on this forum. this is not a free republic; its BOB IS THE OIL GUY dot COM!!
