Correction admin, you are the competition.
This looks like an excellent opportunity to air a thought I've had for some time. It's not the first time a "non-buying" member has come on with this sort of thing. Some have modified their statements after time and some just seem to get their kicks off displaying their smarts all over the forums, haven't paid to play, yet keep posting, posting, posting. If the shoe fits wear it.
I'd like to see the forums modified to allow anyone to read, but only MTU customers to post, and possibly only in the forums that they have purchased products. A separate thread could be set up in each forum for the convenience of those who are shopping, and have legitimate questions about the product they are considering. At least all the "stuff" would be confined to those "shoppers threads" and not cluttering up the airways in general.
Will brace for the storm.
