I think the main difference would be that most of the people posting about J&L stuff do not work for J&L Aquatics, and are in no way trying to advertise for their own benefit. When people post up about something at J&L it's because they simply want to share the good info so that everybody can take advantage! That is not advertising.
Regarding the following thread though, maybe it would be best if a mod moved it to the Vendor forum? I'm not a mod, but it seems like it would fit there. Plus the Vendor forum needs some more activity! It seems pretty deserted in there [img]smile.gif[/img]
