Hi Tom,

I did not make myself clear. Let me try again:

This guy was clearly trolling the Crystal Reports category looking to "respond" to issues with his product as the solution, whether it was a solution or not. This guy did not answer my question. His answer had nothing to do with my question. He was just looking for someone with reporting needs and selling his product.

I agree with everything you say. I just didn't make myself clear. In my mind, this is unacceptable: To troll through the UT and look for sales targets regardless of whether you provide a solution.

If you (third person) have a problem you express on the UT and a third party suggests a commercially available product as an alternative to solve a problem that may be acceptable. If the party doing the suggesting is a member of the staff or company and represents his/her company’s product then more flags are thrown up for whatever reason.
